Define trail layout through aerial maps (By June 2007)
Bonneville Shoreline Trail
The Bonneville Shoreline Trail has had a lot of work done on it over the past several years. The trail is now comprised of two disconnected segments. One connects from the Ogden section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in the South end of the city, and terminates at One Horse Canyon. The other section begins at the new trailhead on the Divide Road and heads North, climbing along the base of Ben Lomond, turning West, and terminating at Pole Patch Road in Pleasant View. While the Northern section is complete, a large part of it is comprised of a power line access road. Future trail work will build new singletrack enhance the BST in that area. Work is being done to find a suitable route to connect both sections and complete a trail that can be taken from one end of Weber County to the other.

Funding: (ongoing)
Budgets are tight, but there is still a lot of work to be done! If you would like to donate hours, equipment or money, or underwrite a project or a portion of a project; if you are a grant writer or if you know where there are funds to be applied for - we would love to hear from you!
Work Parties: (ongoing)
Trails exist for the benefit and enjoyment of the community and we rely on the community to help keep them clean and in good condition. In some cases, we rely on the community to help us start a new trail, or link trails together. To that end, we have set up work parties - as an ongoing project - for those of you who are hands-on community members and who are not afraid of a shovel. Feel free to browse through our calendar and see which work party best suits your schedule, or tell us what time is good for you! If you have a group of people (youth group, boy scouts, a group with community service hours requirements) who can volunteer their "brawn", let us know and we'll pair you up with a plot!
