About Jordanelle Reservoir

Set in Wasatch County, Utah, Jordanelle Reservoir is a 3,300-acre reservoir. The reservoir dates to 1995. The surface sits about 6,188 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 280 ft down.

Water level on this page comes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reading at Jordanelle Dam & Reservoir, published through the Corps' CWMS data service. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

Mid-sized lakes like this one tend to have shifty, gusty wind near shore and steadier pressure in the middle, which is why gust spread matters as much as average speed. At about 6,188 ft, summer afternoons often bring building wind and quick thunderstorms, and the water stays cold well into the season. Reservoir levels move with releases and inflow, so ramps and beaches can change week to week. The water level page tracks that day by day.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
