Great Salt Lake Marina
Great Salt Lake Marina is a harbour located on the shore of the Great Salt Lake in Magna, Utah, where boats are moored and maintained. The facility provides docking spaces and direct access to the expansive open water.
The marina was developed to provide the local community with access to the Great Salt Lake. The lake itself has served as a body of water of regional importance for a long time.
The marina is best reached by car, as it sits in a sparse area outside the main city. There is parking available for visitors who want to use the water or explore the shoreline.
The lake's water is saltier than the ocean, which changes how boats handle and how people experience being on the water. This high salinity means objects and swimmers float with less effort than in regular water.

Salt Lake City brings together history, nature, and culture in one place. You can walk through Temple Square to see the main Mormon temple and its gardens, visit the State Capitol with its impressive dome and neoclassical design, or spend time in museums that show everything from dinosaur bones to art. The Great Salt Lake sits right nearby, a vast body of water so salty that floating comes naturally. Beyond the city, Antelope Island invites you to hike and spot bison and antelopes roaming freely, while the Bonneville Salt Flats stretch out like a white desert where the landscape feels otherworldly. The surrounding Wasatch Mountains offer trails and views for anyone who wants to escape into nature. What makes Salt Lake City special is how these places tell the story of the region. You can learn about Mormon pioneers through monuments and buildings they left behind, or explore the FamilySearch Center, where people from around the world come to trace their family roots using millions of historical records. The city's museums and gardens add layers of discovery, whether you are interested in science, art, or the natural world. Walking through Gilgal Sculpture Garden, you find yourself among stone sculptures and carved words that invite reflection, while the Salt Lake Assembly Hall stands as a beautiful example of how the city has built spaces for both worship and community gatherings. Visitors often come for one thing and stay longer because there is so much to see. The mix of indoor and outdoor spaces means you can plan your days however you like. Whether you spend time at the planetarium learning about the sky, wander through botanical gardens, or drive out to the salt flats where the horizon seems endless, each place offers something different. The surrounding mountains provide a constant backdrop, reminding you that you are in a region shaped by both human settlement and natural forces.
