Oakley Trail Expansion Connects Park and Neighborhoods Along Weber River

New trail segment links existing Stevens Grove Trail to Marchant Meadows Park, expanding regional Weber River Pathway.

Published on Feb. 15, 2026

A new trail connection along the Weber River in Oakley, Utah is now complete, linking the existing Stevens Grove Trail with Marchant Meadows Park and creating a continuous non-motorized route between residential areas and the recently opened park space. The new segment is part of the larger Weber River Pathway project, a multi-phase effort to connect Peoa, Oakley and access points toward the Uinta Mountains through a regional trail corridor.

Why it matters

The trail expansion provides improved connectivity and recreational opportunities for Oakley residents, allowing them to access the park and surrounding neighborhoods without relying on vehicles. It also advances the broader Weber River Pathway initiative to establish a regional trail network in the area.

The details

The new trail segment links the existing Stevens Grove Trail along Millrace Road with Marchant Meadows Park on Woodenshoe Lane. The trail is suited for hiking, running and horseback riding, though users are encouraged to wait until the surface is dry to prevent damage due to the spring moisture and river-adjacent soils.

  • The new trail connection is now complete and open to the public.
