Jordanelle Perimeter Trail The Jordanelle Perimeter Trail extends from the Hailstone Center on the west side of the Jordanelle Reservoir around the north end, then down to the southeast corner of the lake at the Rock Cliff Nature Center. It rarely strays more than a hundred yards from the shore. This trail, at around 6000 feet altitude, starts out easy on the Hailstone end, then becomes increasingly up-and-down as it approaches the southern end of the east shore. Most of the trail is double-track. It's 12.5 miles one-way, and is rated intermediate difficulty. The route is easy to navigate -- just ride around the reservoir. |
| Getting there: Go over Parley's Canyon on I-80. Turn
south on US 40. At the Mayflower (Hailstone Center) exit, turn towards the lake. Shortly
after leaving the highway (before reaching the fee station), spot a dirt road on your left
with a sign saying "Perimeter Trial." Follow this road, ignoring smaller side
roads, until you reach a parking area at the road's end. The trail on the right near the
beginning of the parking area.
Note 2002: Condo development has apparently destroyed the access to this trail through the Hailstone area. The old highway connects to the trail (go around the north end of the lake towards Kamas and watch for it). Or you can cough up the fee to find the trail at the Rock Cliff Nature Center.
