The water off of the launch ramp is known for its fishing due to the ecosystem under the water that was created when the plants and trees were buried when the reservoir filled.

****Winter at Jordanelle****
Winter is a beautiful time in the park. Although many of the facilities are unavailable during these months, Jordanelle still has a lot to offer.
- Boating: The main and PWC boat ramps at Hailstone are plowed during the winter months until the ice forms on the reservoir. There is a heated restroom at the top of the main ramp and at the PWC ramp. A seasonal wedge dock is in place at both ramps until ice forms.
- Fishing: All of the day-use access park roads are plowed during the winter months. Once the reservoir freezes, anglers enjoy ice fishing. OHV’s are not permitted in the park with one exception; anglers may use OHV’s from ramps to access the ice only. All fish cleaning stations are shut down for the winter.
- Snow Shoe Rentals: Snowshoes are available to rent at the park office. There are a variety of sizes ranging from child to adult.
- Camping: Camping is not allowed in the winter. Unfortunately, we have had too many issues with dry campers in the winter and we have been forced to close to all camping.
- General Day Use: Guests are welcome to enjoy the park by hiking trails, snowshoeing, wildlife viewing, cross-country skiing, tubing, building snow people, taking photos, walking, etc. Due to the elevation of the park, the air is free from inversions/settling pollution.
