The name "Jackson Fork Inn" comes from a large hayfork, on display at the Inn as it would have looked many years ago. The Jackson Fork Inn opened its doors for business in February 1988.

Located nine miles from Ogden and 45 miles from Salt Lake City, The Jackson Fork Inn is in an ideal location to get out of town, but be close to town. Snowbasin, Powder Mountain and Nordic Valley Ski resorts are only minutes away. Deer Valley and Park City are an hours drive away, and Alta, Snowbird, Solitude and Brighten are an hour and a half away. Area attractions are plentiful! Once you have stayed here you will remember it always.
