About Great Salt Lake State Park

This state park sits on the south shore of Great Salt Lake, and its marina is home to the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club. Boat tours leave the marina, with group rides, saltwater floats and sunset cruises, and you can rent paddleboards and tandem kayaks. A visitor center and a few campsites sit near the water. A trailhead leads a little over a quarter mile to Black Rock, with views toward Antelope Island and the Saltair building.
