As one of three towns that compose what the locals refer to as the Ogden Valley, Huntsville Town encompasses the essence of mountain living. Huntsville town is rich with history and community, known for it's quiet pace of life and close proximity to some of Ogden Valley's most desirable outdoor recreation. Eden, Utah to the north is home to two ski resorts, Powder Mountain – perfect for those looking for the backcountry thrill without the risk, and Nordic Valley – a beginner and family friendly mountain. Three ski resorts within 20 minutes with the world’s greatest snow, a gorgeous lake and direct access to miles of endless mountain trails, this small town mountain mecca is one of the best kept secrets in the West.

Pineview Reservoir is at the heart of Ogden Valley, bordered by Huntsville on both the eastern and southern shores and by Eden on the northern and western shores. Even on the busiest days, there is plenty of room on the lake to throttle a boat to the max, snake your way around on a sailboat or paddle in peace. The Ogden Valley is a local favorite for visitors from neighboring cities like Ogden and Mountain Green, bringing more volume to the area during weekends. Residents enjoy the excitement of the weekend bustle of boats and festivities but also rejoice in the long stretch of quiet tranquility that they experience all throughout the week in what feels like their own private mountain playground. Whether it is spending the day on one of the many sandy beaches or enjoying the boat life, summer days on Pineview elicit childlike grandeur and awe. Set amongst serene views of the Wasatch and Monte Cristo mountain ranges, the lake, mountains, and valley floor are all rich with 4-season recreation.
