FARMINGTON — Realigning the Bonneville Shoreline Trail through Bountiful and North Salt Lake will be less costly and disruptive than moving development that has pushed up against the historic pathway.

A man runs along Buchanan Avenue between 27th and 29th streets in Ogden recently. A resident of the area allows people to use his property to reach various popular mountain trails and worries that the city’s recent vacation of a strip of land along Buchanan so a homeowner can expand his garage will prevent additional parking along the road later. He says the parking lot for the trailhead (seen in background) overflows on weekends and weekday evenings when the weather is nice and that the vacation may restrict parking options in the future.

NORTH OGDEN -- As anyone involved will attest to, creating a public trail through a patchwork of private and public property is a complicated and lengthy process in which land and rights-of-way are negotiated one piece at a time.

The recent addition of 200 acres to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest adjacent to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail serves as a prime example of the range of interests that must come to the table to make trail expansion work.

In a deal brokered by the nonprofit Trust for Public Land, 200 acres of private land next to a half-mile stretch of the BST were recently sold to the U.S. Forest Service for $1.6 million.

LAYTON -- The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is now a little more contiguous thanks to an agreement between Davis County and a Layton land owner.

Davis County recently gained an easement for a section of the trail in Layton, just north of Adams Canyon, that rests on the property of Layton resident Neil Wall.
