Just minutes north of Heber on Highway 40 is the newly constructed Jordanelle Reservoir. Jordanelle Dam was completed in 1992 and the reservoir filled quickly from the flows of the Provo River. This 3,068 surface-acre reservoir has proven to be an excellent rainbow trout sport fishery. Since the reservoir began filling in 1993, stocking has been heavy. The reservoir did not open to fishing until 1995 and it was estimated that over 63,000 rainbows were caught within the first five days of opening. The reservoir now holds rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout, and small mouth bass. Bag limits have been restricted to keep this popular fishery productive. Remember to consult the current Utah fishing proclamation for limits and regulations on Jordanelle.

Two major recreation areas access the reservoir: Hailstone, located on Highway 40 six miles north of Heber, and Rock Cliff, two miles west of Francis on State Route 32. Two boat ramps and fish cleaners are available at Hailstone, and boat rentals and fishing tackle can be purchased from the marina. A perimeter trail around the reservoir accesses shore fishing areas away from the crowds. Stop in at the visitor center at Hailstone or the nature center at Rock Cliff for recreation information and to find out where to catch your limit.
