The Port Ramp Marina and Pineview Trailhead (Windsurfer Beach) on the western shores of Pineview Reservoir are currently closed to the public for construction that will improve the visitor experience and provide safer access to recreation sites.
Visitors are encouraged to plan for limited boat access and parking. The boat ramp at Anderson Cove is open with limited parking.
The construction will also prevent boat decontaminations from taking place at the reservoir. For information on aquatic invasive species requirements for boaters, please visit the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources website .
The Weber County Sheriff’s Office encourages visitors to park in designated areas to avoid traffic problems, safety hazards, expensive parking tickets and possible towing. Parking by signs that prohibit parking creates a public safety hazard by increasing pedestrian traffic near moving vehicles and reducing the travel space available for vehicular traffic, including emergency vehicles. Parking violation fines start at $150 from May 15 through September 15 each year.
According to the Forest Service, the reservoir’s popular recreation area was originally developed between 1959 (Port Ramp) and 1979 (Pineview Trailhead) and has exceeded the design life of the facilities. Increased visitor use has required a redesign of traffic flow at the site to reduce conflict with traffic on State Route 158.
The project includes building a new road near Pineview Trailhead to connect with the trailhead, constructing a new day-use site (New Point Day Use Area) and improving the Port Ramp. Pineview Trailhead will also be reconstructed with new access routes to the beach, a new parking lot, restrooms, garbage services, picnic sites and an information kiosk. The New Point Day Use Area will include a parking area, restrooms, access routes, picnic sites, garbage services and information kiosks. The Port Ramp reconstruction will include a new road, fee stations and an aquatic species inspection area.
Construction has begun and will continue through 2026. A full site closure is in effect during the entire construction period for public safety.
The Forest Service is implementing the project in cooperation with Weber County, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation.
