On any given day, visitors to this one-of-a-kind state park facility may see majestic golden eagles, red tail hawks, hummingbirds, mule deer, elk, or moose along the Upper Provo River within Rock Cliff. In the evenings, fall asleep listening to the sounds of rushing water, playful raccoons, or the hooting of a great horned owl.
Ross Creek Recreation Area
On the far north end of the park is the Ross Creek Recreation Area. The Ross Creek Trailhead provides parking, a vault restroom, hitching posts, and non-motorized day-use access to Jordanelle Reservoir and the Perimeter Trail. The Perimeter Trail allows hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians, and other non-motorized users the opportunity to explore the other side of Jordanelle.

DOGS: Dogs are allowed at Jordanelle State Park with the exception of inside public buildings and restrooms. Dogs must be on a leash at all times, picked up after, and never left alone. Dogs are allowed on the Perimeter Trail and 3 Rocks Trail. Remember dogs are a privilege, not a right. We love our 4 legged friends and want to continue to allow them in the park. Service Dogs are always welcome. If you have any questions, please ask a member of our staff and they will assist you.
Drone use is allowed inside the park with a permit and a $10 application fee. Please visit the park office for more information and to apply for a permit. Commercial use of a drone is prohibited without a Special Use Permit that may be obtained through the park manager.
