[Tin-Can]

Pineview is a county (Weber) managed park, Lost Creek is managed by Morgan county.

Hold on there old timer.   

While there is a County Park up in Ogden Valley, it ain't Pineview.  The County Park up there is North Fork Park and isn't connect with, or adjacent to, Pineview Resrvoir in any way, shape, or form.  Pineview is a USDA Forrest Service unit in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.  It is controled by the Ogden Ranger District.  They, in turn, have contracted out the management/running of the facilities at Pineview April thru October.  That's why your State Parks Pass doesn't work there; it's a Federal property, not a State Property.

Lost Creek Resrvoir is also a Federal Property, but this time the owner is the US Bureau of Reclamation (BoR) and is under the control of the BoR Provo Area Office.  The Operator for this facility is the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District.  Morgan County has no function at that facility except law enforcement.  Years ago it used to be part of, and managed by, East Canyon State Park.  But that hasn't been true for a very long time now.

And as Paul Harvey used to say - "Now you know the rest of the story."  Are we havin' fun yet?  

[font]OK Bob, now my day wasn't wasted..........I learned something new. But as far as Pineview is concerned, I don't care for that body of water no mater who controls it..... for me it costs too much to launch a boat, and WAY too many folks up there that have more boat than brains......
Lost Creek.... well I have fished there several times. Like I said, I do like the no wake policy, but like you said launching by myself can be a pain with no dock. And the long walk back up that ramp to the parking area is about more than my worn out feet and legs can handle now days. Probably why I don't hit East Canyon any more either. Not tried Echo since it became a state park, but that's out of my county of residence also.
So for as long as this park restriction holds out, Bear River will be seeing even more of me. [/font]
