Summary

Weber County closes posted day use areas around Pineview and Causey Reservoirs between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. under County Code Section 26-3-9. The rule covers popular beaches such as Anderson Cove, Middle Inlet and Cemetery Point, and pairs with companion bans on glass, open fires and unpermitted camping in the same recreation areas. Violating any Chapter 26-3 restriction is a class C misdemeanor.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Weber County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Posted day use areas around the reservoir may not be occupied between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

Full Breakdown

Weber County Code Section 26-3-9, part of Chapter 26-3 (Restrictions Relating To The Use Of Pineview Reservoir And Surrounding Areas) under Title 26 Parks, states plainly that posted day use areas around the reservoir may not be occupied between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The closure applies to the developed beach and picnic areas the county has posted with signage, including Anderson Cove, Middle Inlet and Cemetery Point day use areas named elsewhere in the chapter, and it runs alongside Causey Reservoir. The provision traces to Ordinance No. 2004-13, adopted June 1, 2004, and recodifies former Code of 1985 Section 18-3-9.

The nighttime closure sits inside a cluster of Chapter 26-3 restrictions the county enforces together at Pineview: no swimming, diving or fishing within 50 feet of public docks (Section 26-3-5); dogs barred from the Anderson Cove, Middle Inlet and Cemetery Point beaches (Section 26-3-6); glass products barred from all beach areas (Section 26-3-7); open fires barred except in Forest Service fire containment enclosures (Section 26-3-8); camping barred outside designated Forest Service campgrounds (Section 26-3-10); and alcoholic beverages barred everywhere around Pineview and Causey except designated overnight camping areas and marinas (Section 26-3-11, as amended by Ordinance No. 2017-19 in 2017). Deputies who find visitors in a posted day use area after 10:00 p.m. can cite them under Section 26-3-9 without needing to show any other violation occurred.

Section 26-3-12 sets a single penalty for the whole chapter: any violation of Chapter 26-3, including the after-hours closure, is a class C misdemeanor, Utah's lowest misdemeanor class, punishable under state law by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $750.

Violations & Fines

A citation for occupying a posted Pineview or Causey Reservoir day use area between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. is a class C misdemeanor under Section 26-3-12, the same penalty that applies to every other restriction in Chapter 26-3, from glass on the beach to unauthorized camping. Utah class C misdemeanors carry up to 90 days in jail and a $750 fine; deputies patrol the reservoir shoreline and can cite without a separate underlying offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stay at Pineview Reservoir's beaches after dark?
No. Weber County Code Section 26-3-9 closes posted day use areas around Pineview Reservoir, including Anderson Cove, Middle Inlet and Cemetery Point, between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Anyone occupying those areas during the closure is subject to citation, and the offense is a class C misdemeanor under Section 26-3-12, the same penalty that applies to every other Chapter 26-3 violation.
Does the overnight closure apply to designated campgrounds?
No. The 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. closure in Section 26-3-9 targets posted day use areas, not the designated Forest Service campgrounds where Section 26-3-10 permits overnight camping. Campers registered in a designated site can stay overnight; anyone found in a day use beach or picnic area after hours cannot.
What is the penalty for breaking the reservoir curfew?
Section 26-3-12 makes any violation of Chapter 26-3, including the after-hours closure in Section 26-3-9, a class C misdemeanor. Under Utah law that carries up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $750, the same exposure that applies to leaving glass on the beach or setting an open fire outside a Forest Service enclosure.
