Living in Uintah: The River Junction

Uintah is the "Hidden Oasis" of Weber County. Tucked away at the mouth of Weber Canyon where the river meets the valley, it is a historic railroad town known for its lush green trees, micro-climate, and the iconic "U" painted on the mountainside. It offers a secluded, riverfront lifestyle just seconds from Highway 89.

The community is investing in its safety and beauty. The Weber Fire District is currently modernizing Station 66, ensuring state-of-the-art emergency protection for 2026. Along the water, ongoing Weber River Restoration projects are improving the riverbanks and fishing access points, enhancing the natural amenity that defines the town.
