Welcome to Jordanelle State Park
Jordanelle State Park is the newest reservoir in Utah. Building started
back in the mid 80's and was filled in 1994. It has in it Smallmouth Bass,
Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, White Fish, and just recently been told and found
Largemouth Bass and Yellow Perch (pulled Yellow Perch out personally). Use
trolling methods, power bait, worms, jigs, and artificail flies on this body of
water. I pulled out a 2 lb. 3 oz. Smallmouth on a chartreuse jig tipped with
corn flavored power bait. Also caught a Smallmouth on an olive leech/woolly
bugger trailed behind a clear bubble filled with water on a spinning outfit. The
dam was built on the Provo River above Heber City. Below Heber is Deer Creek
Reservoir and below that is the part of the river that flows through the Provo
Canyon. This reservoir usually doesn't freeze during the winter. Only at the
inlet. So winter angling at Jordanelle can take on both ice fishing and boats.
There are two state parks situated on the banks of the reservoir. Rock Cliffe
which is located near the inlet and Hailstone on the west bank. Small float
tubes can be launched at Rock Cliffe and larger boats and PWC's can be launched
at Hailstone. 
There is a trail that leads all around the reservoir for those who like to hike
and walk. The State Park is quite modern and has many amenities such as hot
water, flushing toilets, a store, and docks. It is located on US 40 between
Heber and Park City. Other attractions nearby is the Heber Valley Railroad, Park
City Silver Mine, and The old Union Pacific Railway State Trail. Short distance
away is Wastatch Mountain State Park and the Uinta Mountains accessed through
Kamas. Strawberry Reservoir is only half an hour away from Heber farther sown US
40.
