Park City Summer Activities

HomePark City Summer Activities

Located in the heart of the Wasatch Mountains within the Rocky Mountain Range, Park City is a year-round destination for outdoor adventure. From scenic drives to epic climbs to balloon rides, Park City summer activities reward you with scenery beyond expectations.

While Park City is world-famous for its ski slopes, it goes way beyond a ski town and has just as much to offer in the warm months. Park City summers are near perfect with temperatures reaching the low 80s during the afternoon and dipping into the 40s and 50s at night.

There are so many things to do in Park City Utah in summer, so get ready to go exploring the trails, fishing, golfing, and enjoying refreshing lake activities!

Fly Fishing

The Provo River and the Weber River are prime spots for fly-fishing in the Park City area. Offering world-class waters, Provo River is the most popular spot for fly-fishing, and you can get to it easily from our vacation rental homes. The pristine waters feature brown and rainbow trout in record lengths and more than 3,000 trout per mile in some parts of the river. Weber River is another popular spot for fly-fishing, and it tends to have few crowds and some of the biggest trout in the state. Both of these rivers are Blue Ribbon fisheries.

Kayaking and Paddlesports

Go kayaking and paddleboarding in Park City at Jordanelle State Park, as well as sections of Provo and Weber rivers. The Jordanelle Reservoir and State Park are just about 15 minutes away from Park City, and it is one of the most scenic spots for paddle sports in the area. If you’re paddling the Jordanelle Reservoir, visit the Rock Cliff where you’ll find incredible views and maybe even local wildlife.

Rafting

Looking for more of a thrill on the water? White water rafting on the Weber River is a fun adventure for the whole family (children as young as 4 can go on this tour). Weber River is a Class II River and is the highest-rated river in the Park City region. Prepare to get splashed and have a blast. Book an excursion through us to get out on the water for an afternoon you won’t forget.
