Jordanelle Reservoir is a man-made reservoir located in Northern Utah. It was created in the 1990s by the construction of the Jordanelle Dam, which was built to provide water for the growing population of the Wasatch Front. The reservoir is fed by both surface flow and snowpack runoff from the surrounding mountains. The Provo River and its tributaries are the primary surface flow providers, while snowpack from the Wasatch Mountains is also an important source of water. The reservoir provides water for irrigation and agricultural purposes, as well as for recreational activities such as boating and fishing. The surrounding Jordanelle State Park is a popular destination for camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
