The Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve protect more than 4,400 acres of wetland and upland habitat along the eastern banks of the Great Salt Lake, the Western Hemisphere's largest saline lake.
The preserve stretches for over 12 contiguous shoreline miles and is known as an important habitat for migratory shorebird and waterfowl populations, attracting more than six million migratory birds each year.
It is a birdwatcher's paradise throughout the year, offering an observation area at its lovely visitor center where visitors can observe more than 250 species.
A 30-foot observation tower can be ascended for amazing views, while a mile-long boardwalk trail can be strolled through for unique glimpses of bird habitats.
Educational exhibits on the park's boardwalk offer information about bird species, habitats, and preserve conservation efforts.
