Description

Natural Features

The Great Salt Lake today is a remnant of the much larger Lake Bonneville, which spanned 20,000 square miles during the last ice age. Today, the lake is about 75 miles north to south, and 35 miles east to west. The state park is located at the lake's southern edge.

Recreation

Activites in the park include walking along the beach, swimming, boating, birding, kayaking, and simply taking in the sweeping views of the lake.

Facilities

The park's visitor center contains a gift shop and exhibits detailing the history, geography, and inhabitants of the Great Salt Lake (including a tank of living brine shrimp). Picnic areas and campsites offer views of the harbor and the lake, and a public boat ramp allows for access out onto the water.

Nearby Attractions

We are located adjacent to the famous Saltair Palace, and we are just minutes away from the Salt Lake City airport and downtown.
