We're hard at work finally, putting the new site look up, and making sure all the content is fresh and newly updated. Please bear with us over the next week or two if you find something missing or a broken link or two. We are working hard to get caught up so if something doesn't work right today, please check back tomorrow!
If you're looking around for a few of the sections we had before, I'm sorry to say that some of them are just plain gone. I decided it was time to narrow the focus of the site a bit to make sure we can really do a good job of covering the things we kept around. We were getting a little thin before, trying to offer something for everyone. We've got a new sitemap here though, so you can see all the sections.
Jordanelle Reservoir is one of the newest reservoirs in the region. I remember watching the dam being constructed as the Provo River was blocked behind an earthen Dam. This reservoir is very close to Salt Lake City and even closer to the towns of Park City and Heber City, so on any summer weekend you can expect lots of company as you head up there to play. The lake is fairly high sitting at an elevation of 6,166 feet, and in the summer, you can expect some windy afternoons here.
There's two official recreation areas, Hailstone, the primary location on the west side of the reservoir where you'll find the marina, a large main boat ramp along with a second smaller PWC ramp. The other area, Rock Cliff is much smaller and less well developed, offering a small ramp and a campground. Rock Cliff is located on the southeast corner of the reservoir where the Provo river dumps in. This is my personal favorite place when I'm at Jordanelle, I'm happy to launch a Kayak here for a late afternoon of easy fishing, safe from the rowdy boats as a large chunk of this area of the reservoir is wakeless.
