Beus Trailhead Park

Love this place wish we had more like it we had the river walk but now it's lined with apartments they messed it all up to many apartment everywhere you look and it doesn't look good makes ogden look cheep but there's no cheep apartment I hate how ogden looks

Fun place to walk along a paved path, see ducks and frogs, and have a picnic. There are bathrooms and a playground. The parking lot at the trailhead is small, so visitors might be better off parking along the road nearer to the playground.

Great place to enjoy nature without driving too far!!

Ogden’s east bench treasure. Like Dr. Who’s Tardis, Beus Trailhead Pond & Park’s parking lot looks minuscule bit in fact comfortably packs in cars and trucks in the double digits, with full use of the mouth of the entrance and of Country Hills Drive being made—with ample room for men, women, children, strollers, bikes, wheelchairs, and animals to safely and spiritedly fill in the generous space that remains, well before entering in to one of three or four trailheads that set you on the path to encircle and behold the simple beauties of the pond and beyond. Flora and fauna abound, and the larger, sprawling Lester Park, complete with grills and pavilions, stands immediately adjacent and attached, and east of both it and Beus, the harsher wilderness, with countless circuits and footpaths, rises sharply above it all, a steep, wooded area of verdant thickness and escape.

Like the rest of Utah, it’s all within a hop, skip, and a jump back to pavement, to parking lots and cars, to the ultra-modern, super-new campus of Weber State University a stone’s throw west of it, and to burger joints, banks, credit unions, ice cream parlors, food and drug stores, churches, clinics, head shops, hospitals and the sprawl of suburbia a mere slingshot’s reach beyond that.

You could park your car and take in the sunset, on site at Beus, at 8:08 pm and remain for 20 minutes, feed a few swans, a dozen ducks, and a gaggle of Canadian geese at the pond, stop by Jakes over the Top two minutes later, for a burger and shake—to stay—and be back home, throw a load of clean clothes in the dryer, and be brushing your teeth, in your PJ’s and ready for bed, by 9:00 PM.

Such is a prime example, in Beus Trailhead P&P, of how we live close to the land in Ogden, Utah, closer to the land even than the residents of Salt Lake, at once in the rustic underbrush, shoulder to shoulder with migratory birds, at will able to disappear into furry, mountainous woods, the next moment again at once accessing the comforts of and attending to the obligations awaiting in the metropolis next door, without even a door’s separation, only the flick of desire and a few moments’ locomotion.

Beus is especially sweetly situated because between even the rustic and the suburban lies the academic institution—Weber State University and the academic life inserts itself physically between hearth and hedge, adding to it all the life of the mind and the life of all manner of cerebral, creative energies and ingenuities from within it, freely offering the allurements of intellectual transport, adventure, and release (plus a paycheck as an employer) to those without.

Blue collar, white collar, rural—Beus Trailhead Park & Pond stands at the easternmost bench of it, the only thing higher and grander being the Wasatch Mountains, themselves, that stand and watch over it all.

The only flat place to walk that I've found in Ogden but it's usually overcrowded with screaming children. My dog gives it 5 stars though

One of my favorite places to park and just sit and contemplate. Sometimes for hours. And don't mind the WSU students youll see. They had the same thought!!

Caught 19 bluegills and 9 sunfish using a green and gold rooster tail. Was here 30minutes. Plan on coming here alot more

This park is so pretty, with lots of ducks and geese around.

Super pretty, great place for nature walking

Trailhead to mount Ogden and connection to Bonneville shoreline trail

Very nice little park.

Beautiful relaxing trail
