About Port Ramp Marina

Nestled on the western shores of Pineview Reservoir, just 10 miles from Ogden, Port Ramp Marina serves as your gateway to one of Utah's premier mountain lakes. This seasonal facility welcomes boaters from mid-May through September with a modern concrete launch ramp, spacious paved parking with dedicated slip-holder areas, convenient gravel overflow and dry storage spaces, plus essential amenities including vault toilets and a dump station.
Port Ramp Marina is a boat slip rental facility offering seasonal slip rentals (mid-May through September), dry storage for the season, and associated parking—it is a marina rather than a traditional campground.
Weather and SeasonsThe marina awakens each mid-May as warming temperatures transform Pineview into a water recreation paradise, remaining open through September when autumn begins painting the surrounding peaks. Plan your visit during these prime months when the reservoir's crystal-clear waters beckon and the Wasatch Mountains provide a stunning backdrop to every boating adventure.
Natural Features and SceneryPineview Reservoir spreads across scenic Ogden Valley like a sapphire jewel cradled between towering Wasatch peaks and pastoral farmland. The reservoir's inviting sandy beaches at Cemetery Point, Anderson Cove, and Middle Inlet Beach offer perfect spots to drop anchor and swim in refreshing mountain waters. This picturesque setting combines the rugged beauty of alpine terrain with the gentle charm of valley landscapes, creating an unforgettable backdrop for your time on the water.
Geological RegionSituated on the backside of the Wasatch Front in the heart of Ogden Valley, Port Ramp Marina occupies a unique position where dramatic mountain geology meets serene reservoir waters. The surrounding Wasatch peaks tell millions of years of geological history while Pineview Reservoir itself rests in a valley carved by ancient forces, offering boaters a front-row seat to some of northern Utah's most striking natural architecture.
