Confirmed from Jordanelle State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Fishing, boating & water-skiing on Jordanelle Reservoir, along with hiking trails & campgrounds.
What runners say about Jordanelle State Park
“Great campground with clean restrooms/showers (with hot water) to be used at anytime!”
“Beautiful place to kayak!”
“Mindfulness can be rediscovered here, where, should you choose just to stroll near the entrance, you'll find cool shade, brilliant waters and friendly campers.”
Great campground with clean restrooms/showers (with hot water) to be used at anytime! Wonderful view and a great place to be active in the water and roads are getting paved for smoother travel with vehicles and pedestrians walking around. Highly recommend!
The lake is great! We went kayaking all day. There were a lot of people fishing also. The beach is not exactly like a good beach. No sand for kids to play. But there is a small volleyball place. The restrooms and showers are really good. Hot water 7/24. The campsite is good. Not a lot of shade but there are some trees.
Incredible jewel found just a twenty minute drive from Park City. Mindfulness can be rediscovered here, where, should you choose just to stroll near the entrance, you'll find cool shade, brilliant waters and friendly campers. Vistas are lovely. Only wish we had brought watercraft, but the experience was amazing.
Beautiful place to kayak! (Bring your own.) Bring water shoes! This is generally the quieter side of the Jordanelle. Reserve a cabana on weekends/holidays. There is not any shade - so sunblock is imperative. Outhouse. No other facilities. Pay at gate or use State Park Pass.
