The Weber River Parkway (WRP) is a 12-mile non-motorized trail along the Weber River that will extend upstream from the confluence of the Weber and Ogden rivers to the Fisherman’s Trailhead in South Weber and eventually to the mouth of Weber Canyon. This trail is part of the Centennial Trail, a planned 27-mile loop around Ogden that also includes the Ogden River Parkway and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.

To date, over 6 miles of the WRP have been completed from the confluence of the Weber and Ogden rivers in West Haven, south to the end of Riverdale’s Parkway. Partners in this project have been Weber Pathways, Ogden City, West Haven City, and Riverdale City with Weber County’s RAMP supplying major funding.

Weber Pathways is currently working with our partners to complete the final 6 miles between Riverdale City and the mouth of Weber Canyon, where the Parkway will join the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. The 2-mile corridor extending from the Riverdale Parkway to the Uintah Bridge has been acquired. With a pedestrian bridge crossing the river near the Riverdale City limits, the trail will continue on the south side to the Adams Avenue Parkway. From there, it will follow along Cottonwood Drive to the Uintah Bridge. Major funding has come from RAMP, the State Trails fund, the Utah Division of Wildlife Services (UDWR), and Weber Pathways. Land purchases were made possible by a grant from the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Foundation. Our partners include UDWR, Weber County, Uintah, South Weber, and Davis County. Construction of this section should be complete in 2012. Efforts to acquire the trail corridor between the Uintah Bridge and Fisherman’s Trailhead will then continue.
