Davis County Commits Up to $763,334 for Bonneville Shoreline Trail North of Farmington Pond
A long-planned piece of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail above Farmington and Kaysville has county money behind it. On Tuesday, Nov. 10, the Davis County Commission approved an agreement with the nonprofit Intermountain Trails to help pay for building the trail north from Farmington Pond.
How much is Davis County paying for the Bonneville Shoreline Trail?
The agreement commits the county to pay up to 50% of the authorized construction cost, not to exceed $763,334, according to the commission agenda. County staff told commissioners the agreement runs through Sept. 30, 2028, and that the county’s share would come from its “Prop One” funds. Staff also said Intermountain Trails has received a Utah outdoor recreation grant for the same work.
Where will the new trail section go?
Staff described the section as roughly 5.25 miles, starting at Farmington Pond and running north along the foothills to Kaysville’s wilderness park. The project includes two bridges across canyons along the route, which staff called a significant part of the work. The agreement itself and a route map were not attached to the public agenda, so exact trailheads and alignment are not yet available.
When will the trail be built?
No construction start date or opening date was given at the meeting. The 2028 end date is the term of the funding agreement, not a promised completion date.
Commissioners approved the agreement in a single unanimous voice vote along with several other community development items. Official minutes have not been posted. This report is based on the published agenda and the meeting recording.
