Jordanelle State Park
Jordanelle Reservoir is located in a picturesque mountain
setting near Heber City. The park offers a wide array of
recreational opportunities through two state-operated
facilities.
Hailstone Recreation Area: Located on the west shore,
Hailstone serves as Jordanelle State Park's main recreational
facility and park headquarters. This site has become one of the
most heavily visited recreational areas in the state due to its
location and facilities. Hailstone serves thousands of visitors
each year from boaters and campers, to hikers and equestrians.
Surrounded by rolling hills and majestic mountain peaks, Hailstone
offers picturesque camping with nearly 200 campsites, for both RV's
as well as tents.
The waters of Jordanelle provide recreational opportunities for
many people, including boaters, waterskiers, fishermen, jet
skiers, and swimmers. The reservoir is also an important resting
area for many migratory waterfowl and other birds. The open,
rolling land serves as habitat for many plant and animal species.
Rock Cliff Recreation Area: Located on the Provo River two miles
west of Francis on State Route 32. Rock Cliff offers visitors the
unique opportunity to interact with this beautiful riparian
environment. Elevated boardwalks and well maintained trails guide
visitors through the upland sage and wetland areas, leading to a
breathtaking view of the Provo River as it enters the Jordanelle
Reservoir.
Rock Cliff's 100 acres of protected habitat attracts abundant
wildlife. Nearly 200 species of birds, including the Bald Eagle,
and many small mammals such as mink, fox and beaver find safe
haven here. Rock Cliff is also home to a few larger mammals such as
moose, deer, elk and mountain lion.
This pristine area provides nature enthusiasts and students alike
with numerous possibilities for discovery. Although a part of
Jordanelle State Park, Rock Cliff is unique in a variety of ways.
Whereas the Hailstone Recreation Area functions as the park's
headquarters and major recreational complex, Rock Cliff's major
emphasis lies in education, interpretation, and low-impact
recreational experiences.
In keeping with this theme, a Nature Center and boardwalk system
were created to protect and preserve the surrounding riparian and
wetland ecosystem. To protect this area and at the same time
provide a quality camping experience for our visitors, a secluded
walk-in tent campground was established, nestled among the
beautiful cottonwood/aspen forest found along the Provo River.
