A Destination All Its Own
Dumke Arts Plaza
Once a run-down motel, Dumke Arts Plaza is now a lively civic space dedicated to arts programming of all kinds. See large-scale installations, intimate performances, and films. And grab snapshots of The Beacon, a brilliant modern sculpture that calls to patrons across 25th Street.
Ogden Trails Network
Mountain paths, waterfalls, and quiet spots to bike or hike. Ogden boasts some of the most beautiful trails in Utah, many that were first used by Native American tribes. Take it a step further and help keep them pristine by adopting a trail or volunteering.
North Shore Aquatic Center
The perfect summer escape for kids, grandkids, or just the young at heart. Get wet and wild on the waterslides, soak up the sun on the Lazy River, or lounge poolside while admiring the view of Ben Lomond Peak. Pools are kept at a relaxing 85 degrees.
A History of North Ogden
The Shoshone were first to inhabit the land around North Ogden, followed by cattle ranchers in the mid-1800s. Things did not go smoothly at first, as tensions between the Shoshone and ranchers made permanent settlements difficult. (None other than Brigham Young advised the ranchers to play it safe and keep to the local fort.)
Some 75 years later, North Ogden became a thriving community, dotted with fruit orchards that drove the local economy. The town was officially incorporated in 1934, quickly becoming a major suburb of Ogden, when orchards eventually gave way to residential and commercial development.
Today, North Ogden is a sought-after destination for anyone looking to live an active lifestyle in the sublime beauty of northern Utah. And, of course, the perks of Ogden are just a few short miles away.
