Huntsville, UT is located in the southern part of The Ogden Valley approximately 45 miles northeast of Salt Lake City and 11 miles east of Ogden City, through Ogden Canyon on the east side of the Wasatch Mountains. This quaint, historic town sits on a peninsula on Pineview Reservoir. Founded by Jefferson Hunt in 1860, the town was incorporated in 1924, one of three towns in the Ogden Valley to be incorporated. The elevation is just under 5000 ft. and the area experiences four distinct seasons. Snowfall in town is considerably less than other parts of the Valley.

Subdivisions include Ski Lake, Summit at Ski Lake, The Chalets at Ski Lake, The Legends at Hawkins Creek, Trapper’s Crossing, Basinview, Valley Lake Estates, Huntsville Meadows, Falcon Crest, Monastery Cove, Green Hills Country Estates, South Fork Ranchettes, Silver Summit, Heritage Knoll, and The Sanctuary Ranch. Lakeside Village Condominiums, the closest accommodations to Snowbasin on the Weber Co. side and the new, “The Escapes at Edgewater” by Jack Fisher Homes, luxury townhomes, are both located adjacent to each other on the south shore of Pineview Reservoir.
