The Epic Utah Adventure That Will Make Your Summer Unforgettable

Are you making plans to escape Utah’s summer heat? It’s time for an adventure that’s perfect for everyone in the family. Plan a trip to Jordanelle Reservoir soon.

Jordanelle State Park is 35 miles east of Salt Lake City. Travel east on I-80 to US 40 South, then take the Mayflower exit to the Hailstone Recreation Area.

This park offers three recreation areas: Hailstone, Rock Cliff and Ross Creek. Hailstone offers the most amenities and tends to be the most popular.

You'll find so much to see and do here. Play in the water, bask on the beach, zip around on a personal watercraft and more.

Aqua X Zone opens on June 17th. It's located near the beach house.

This inflatable water park allows you to jump, swing and swim, while cooling off in the lake.

Reserve a group pavilion and host a party! Pavilions accommodate up to 75 people and can be reserved in advance.

Try your luck at fishing. There are some huge trout in the lake!

Camp overnight at one of several campgrounds. At Hailstone, you'll find 103 RV sites with hookups, fire pits and picnic tables. Restrooms have flush toilets and hot showers.
