We decided to see the Great Salt Lake on our way back to the airport. We were in Utah, just passing by, so why not stop. People were very friendly. We drove along the roads around the lake and park area; saw some wildlife. We stopped at the visitor center and found it very informative. When we were leaving the... More

Before trekking out to the GSL, decided to peek at a few trip advisor reviews and had a good laugh with some of the "ewww" reviews. But was armed with good information before heading out as this was our first time. Weather conditions will probably impact the "ground" conditions at the GSL. We visited in late March, temps 45-50 degrees... More

The sunsets are absolutely unbeatable here and even amateur photographers can get spectacular shots with minimal effort. This place is not for people who can't handle a few tiny bugs, bring spray if you want but I don't find it necessary. Can be smelly in certain areas but once you are out/in the water it's not noticable. Stays shallow forever... More

If you can, be sure to check out the spiral jetty which is about 16 miles from Golden Spike National Monument.

I've been here a few times, have to drive by often. I know people who think it's fun but I think it's just gross.

Dirty, smelly, nats buzzing, salt dries on your skin, and no where to rinse off, not much in the hospitality area or creature comforts. Everyone should go once just to say they've been there

So, if you have never been, go. It is worth it to see it once. However, it can get really smelly! It is fun to go and see the spiral getty and the old Soltair. Other than that, we don't really go out there unless we need to get some photographs. I would recommend spending a little extra time and... More

We went out to the Great Salt Lake in the summer. The smell was hard to ignore. One in our group had heard he could float in the Great Salt Lake, so he waded out about 300 feet. The water was only up to his knees. He finally gave up trying to find deep enough water, and when he came... More

It's a unique geological feature for the United States, but it has not been developed properly by the State of Utah. There is no place to really visit other than the Great Salt Lake Marina. Sailing is great, but there are no boat charters or rentals. You CAN NOT swim in the lake unless you can shower soon after getting... More
