Jordanelle Reservoir is a short drive from Park City, with two main areas: Hailstone, with a marina, beaches and campgrounds, and Rock Cliff, a quieter area at the reservoir’s east end with a nature center and boardwalks.

It is a favorite for boating, paddleboarding and fishing in summer, and for ice fishing in winter. The views of the surrounding peaks are excellent.
