Great Salt Lake State Park, State park on Great Salt Lake, Utah
The state park encompasses 163 acres along the southern shore of Great Salt Lake, featuring a marina with 300 boat slips.
Established in 1975, this state park preserves access to Great Salt Lake, a remnant of prehistoric Lake Bonneville that covered western Utah.
The park serves as an entry point to Great Salt Lake, which influenced Mormon settlers to establish Salt Lake City in 1847.
Located 16 miles west of Salt Lake City via Interstate 80, the park provides facilities for boating, swimming, and wildlife observation.
The water's high salinity prevents fish from living in the lake, making brine shrimp the primary aquatic inhabitants.
