Two Hours on Jordanelle: Paddle, Swim and Picnic from Heber City.
Jordanelle Reservoir opens like a mirror against the Wasatch foothills, inviting short excursions that feel far from the everyday. A two-hour kayak or stand-up paddleboard rental lets you set your own pace—push toward the reservoir’s center for a cooling swim, trace the forested banks for quiet views of the mountains, or lay in the hull’s roomy storage for a simple picnic between strokes.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Open Reservoir Swimming and Paddling
Paddle out into the middle of Jordanelle Reservoir where the water deepens and you can jump in for a refreshing swim—an easy way to punctuate a short rental with a cool, open-water break.
Leisurely Banks and Scenic Exploration
Rather than a fixed course, this rental encourages a relaxed loop around the reservoir’s banks so you can explore inlets, shoreline views, and the mountain backdrop at your own speed.
Room for a Picnic on the Water
Crafts include storage space designed to hold a small picnic, so you can break for food on the water and extend the social side of the outing without extra baggage.
What the day feels like
What Two Hours on Jordanelle Feels Like
The rhythm is simple: launch, choose a heading, and let your pace decide the day. Two hours is enough to push out to open water for a swim, meander close to the shoreline to drink in mountain views, or anchor for a quick picnic. The focus is self-directed exercise and low-effort exploration—kayaks and SUPs make it easy to shift from active paddling to a restful pause on the reservoir.
