Located on the backside of the Wasatch Front, Pineview Reservoir in the Ogden River Canyon is home to stunning views of the water, sandy beaches, the Southern Skyline trail, paved ramps, and campgrounds thus providing a great location for recreational activities of many kinds. Popular activities include boating, canoeing, fishing, horseshoe, kayaking, paddle boarding, picnicking, swimming, volleyball, wakeboarding, and water skiing.
The reservoir is a vastly popular location for fishing tiger muskie and is great for experiencing the picturesque beauty of nature. The three swimming areas are Cemetery Point (west of Huntsville), Anderson Cove campground, and Middle Inlet Beach (north of Huntsville). Shade is scarce so be sure to bring your own canopy or cover during hot summer months as well as wear sun protection. The beaches tend to be busy on weekends.
The out-and-back Southern Skyline trail totals 18.2 miles in distance and is located between the highway and reservoir perfect for walking, biking, and riding dirt bikes. The trail initially commences with a slight uphill climb which increases as the trail progresses. Be cautious and courteous to wildlife including snakes. The campground gates are locked each night at 10 p.m. and are reserved on a first come, first served basis.
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
