The Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve is a unique system of salt and fresh water marshes, ponds, pools, sloughs and mudflats. It is a rich feeding ground for tens of thousands of migrating birds, which use the Great Salt Lake as a resting point on their journeys from Canada to points in Central and South America. In fact, some of the largest gatherings of wildlife ever recorded on the Great Salt Lake have been observed here. LOCATION The preserve is along the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake between Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area and the Antelope Island State Park Causeway. HOURS Visitors may experience the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve any time of year. The visitor center is open every day: April – September: 7am to 8pm October – March: 8am to 5pm SIZE Roughly 4,400 acres
