East Jordan Canal is what the USGS calls a thermal point in Salt Lake County, roughly three miles from South Jordan. The water is mildly warm. Nobody has recorded chemistry for it, and neither ownership nor access status appears anywhere. It reads as a survey location in the suburbs, with nothing to suggest people soak here.

Alta Creek Circle is the nearest road, about 75 feet away. Valley elevation on the Wasatch Front. Snowfall is close to four feet a winter and the year is moderately wet for Utah. The name points to a canal, and the record gives nothing beyond that.

Listed best months are December through February. Dogwood Day Use is about ten miles off. Given how little is on file, treat this as a point of interest on the map and confirm access in person before expecting anything. There is no photo and no sample date.
