 The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is Utah's unique "urban interface" trail and one of the most popular trails in Weber County. Running on or near the highest shoreline of ancient Lake Bonneville it will one day stretch over 280 miles from the Idaho border to Nephi. Currently less than 90 miles of the route is officially designated as part of the BST. |
 In Weber County, there are now over 16.5 miles of BST. About 6.5 miles from Beus Canyon Trailhead to the Ogden Canyon Bridge/Tunnel; 5.5 miles from there to Tunnel Mountain; and then 5 miles from the North Ogden Divide Road Trailhead to the Box Elder county line.
Weber Pathways is now working to complete the trail so that it extends from the Box Elder County line in the north to the Davis County line in the south. We are pursuing several approaches to extend the BST south to the Weber Canyon, where we plan to link the trail to the Weber River Parkway from the west and to Davis County’s BST from the south. Ideally, we will end up with both a trail across the foothills and a bike route along local streets. |
 The foothill trail would be close to the Bonneville shoreline and will descend to the mouth of the Weber Canyon to cross the railroads, freeway, and river through a combination of bridges and tunnels. The bike route, while straying widely from the actual shoreline, will be less expensive to implement and likely be completed first.
Even after the foothill trail is finished, the bike route will remain a wonderful way for South Ogden area residents to access the Weber River Parkway and safely traverse their own neighborhoods.
