Jordanelle Utah Real Estate

The Jordanelle Utah area primarily surrounds the Jordanelle Reservoir located southeast of Park City. It encompasses the small communities of Hideout, Deer Mountain, Tuhaye, Mayflower, Francis, and Kamas. This area has unique history as Jordanelle used to be a community in northern Wasatch County located along the former route of US 40 and US 189 S. of the former town of Hailstone and north of Heber City. Nearly all of the town was submerged in 1995 by the reservoir along with the communities of Hailstone and Keetley and all that remains of the former community it’s an RV Park. But today, the Jordanelle Reservoir area encompasses several other surrounding communities and neighborhoods. Let’s talk about each one of them.
