Introduction Timpanogos Antelope Island Mount Nebo Jordanelle Strawberry Rsvr. By Carrie Loranger Gaska Surrounding the Joradanelle Reservoir at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, the Jordanelle State Park includes the Hailstone Recreation Site and the more primitive Rock Cliff Recreation Site. Completed in 1995, this is one of the newer parks in the state. About 27 miles of hiking trails surround the reservoir and connect to other trails in the area.
Trails are open to hikers, bikers, horseback riders, and cross-country skiers.
While the Hailstone Recreation Site draws many boaters, the quieter Rock Cliff Recreation Site is the best place to commune with nature. With over 160 species of birds, including eagles and raptors, Rock Cliff is surrounded by riparian wetlands and is ideal for fishing. Recommended Trip Camp at Rock Cliff and take the perimeter trails around the reservoir to Hailstone. The trail is 14 miles one-way. Hikers can also access the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail State Park from the perimeter trail.
