Great Salt Lake |
|
|
Though not much boating
is done on the Great Salt Lake, there is a small marina on Antelope
Island. Salt Lake Adventure
(435-583-4400) conducts scenic cruises from the marina. Antelope
Island also has some swimming beaches with showers. (The exceedingly
high salt content of the lake makes floating easy but isn't so easy
on your eyes and skin.) |
