Stand-Up Paddleboard in the Jordanelle Reservoir
OutdoorModerateSummerFall
Enjoy the calm October mornings on the water with the peaks of Deer Valley reflecting on the reservoir’s surface.
Itinerary tips
- 1Arrive at the Jordanelle State Park Hailstone entrance early to secure a parking spot near the personal watercraft ramp.
- 2Pack a dry bag for your phone and car keys, as the reservoir can develop small wind-driven swells in the afternoon.
- 3Allow at least two to three hours for paddling to reach the quieter, scenic inlets near the Deer Valley side.
- 4Purchase your Utah State Parks day-pass online in advance to bypass the vehicle entry line during busy autumn weekends.
- 5Bring a lightweight windbreaker even if it feels warm, as the mountain breeze across the water drops significantly in temperature by October.
- 6Launch from the Rock Cliff recreation area if you prefer a shallower, wake-free environment away from motorized boats.
