Jordanelle Reservoir, nestled in the picturesque Wasatch Mountains, is a premier destination for nature enthusiasts and families seeking scenic outdoor recreation. This stunning 3,000-acre lake, located just 20 minutes from Park City, features an 8-lane boat ramp and full-service marina providing easy access for motorboats, jet skis, kayaks, and paddle boards. Anglers flock to Jordanelle for its excellent fishing opportunities, with species like rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass, and perch making their homes in its clear waters.
Beyond water activities, Jordanelle State Park boasts over 15 miles of hiking and biking trails, including the popular Perimeter Trail, which offers breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
