Residents can hike and horseback ride on the many trails that wind their way through the surrounding mountains and hills. They can ride mountain bikes along country roads, golf at courses at Nordic Valley and Wolf Creek, or camp at one of many U.S. Forest Service campgrounds. They can gather at the Huntsville City Park for an impromptu softball game or a family picnic. They can even windsurf or water ski on Pineview Reservoir. Visitors also enjoy the recreational opportunities in Ogden Valley. Lower Valley residents often spend at least a portion of their weekend in and around Ogden Valley. In the winter, visitors come to Ogden Valley to ski at Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, and Nordic Valley. In the summer, they come to Ogden Valley to camp, boat, and fish on the Pineveiw and Causey Reservoirs, and to hike and bike in the Wasatch Mountains. Although these visitors do not live in Ogden Valley, they appreciate its outstanding recreational resources.” Existing objectives from the General Plan include the desire to, “Enhance quality recreational opportunities,” as outlined below: Identify recreational assets, facilities, and activities in Ogden Valley and determine which facilities might be expanded to meet increased recreational demand, and plan for such expansion.
