Paddleboard in Heber Valley

Paddleboarding

Visitors to the Heber Valley love paddle boarding! It's a great form of exercise, yet it hardly feels like work. Explore the natural surroundings, sunbathe, and spend time with friends and family while being atop the water. Paddle boarding can be done on most bodies of water in the Heber Valley, including rivers, lakes, and of course, the Homestead Crater.

Top Heber Valley locations for paddle boarding fun:

Deer Creek State Park & Reservoir
Deer Creek State Park offers a few wakeless options for paddle boards as well. While we suggest staying in wakeless zones for safety reasons, we strongly recommend checking out all that Deer Creek offers — especially the Dock of the Bay — a very popular area for paddleboarders because of the ease of access to the water. Rainbow Bay is another popular wakeless area for paddle boarding offering a more natural experience.
Jordanelle State Park & Reservoir
Jordanelle Reservoir has several areas for all skill levels of paddle boarders, including some non-motorized areas designed specifically for this up-and-coming sport. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can paddle around the peninsula that creates the bay. Another favorite wakeless location is at Rock Cliff. A lot of wildlife can be found in this area — especially waterfowl and birds of prey. More experienced paddlers enjoy launching at the Personal Watercraft Ramp and following the shoreline towards the dam and back — about a two-mile round trip.
Provo River
The Provo River has also been known to provide an amazing experience for more skilled paddle boarders. We recommend the lower Provo River area — where the tubes and rafts are launched, but be sure not to trespass as the river goes through a large portion of private property.
Strawberry Reservoir
A scenic 25 minutes from downtown Heber, this lake is known as Utah’s premier fishing locale. The miles and miles of lake shoreline gives paddle board enthusiasts plenty of open space to explore and relax. Strawberry Bay Marina offers a small retail shop and the primary boat ramp for the reservoir.
Utah Crater
The Utah Crater at Homestead Resort offers a unique experience – paddle board yoga. Available through Park City Yoga Adventures, this activity is guaranteed to be the most blissful yoga and paddle board experience you've ever had!

Get Geared Up For A Day On The Water

Both Jordanelle and Deer Creek State Parks have preferred concessionaires for paddle board rentals, or you can bring your own into the parks. Here are some helpful tips to ensure your paddle boarding experience in Heber Valley is enjoyable:

The best time of year to enjoy paddle boarding in Heber Valley is June through September.
Avoid busy summer weekends at the reservoir, especially Saturday mornings.
Rent or bring your own life jacket. These are required, and for your safety.
Dogs are allowed on the water but not on the beaches. Dogs must be on a leash at all times when on land inside the parks.
