The Great Salt Lake in Utah offers residents and visitors numerous opportunities to sail, kayak, float, birdwatch, hike, bike, and more. With 10,000 miles of shoreline, it is one of the most rewarding places to visit in the state. The lake and its islands provide a unique experience that allows visitors to connect with nature and enjoy breathtaking views. Kayaking on the Great Salt Lake is an incredible way to see areas you would not normally see on foot, as it provides an excellent way to see areas you would not normally see on foot.
The Great Salt Lake Marina, located only 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, allows you to launch your kayak or boat, go on a sunset cruise, or take in the spectacular view. Nearby attractions include Black Rock (2 miles RT) and Pyrite Point (5 miles RT). Visitors can also launch sailboats, motorboats, kayaks, and paddleboats from marinas in Antelope Island State Park and Great Salt Lake State Park.
However, the Great Salt Lake is not one of the best kayaking spots in America, as it has no fish due to its high salinity level. Due to this, many people do not decide to swim in it or paddle it. Canoes can paddle along the south shore either east or west, and there is a large haystack rock formation just west of the Salt Lake Marina (near Saltair).
Despite some people mentioning that kayaking in the Great Salt Lake creates some drag due to the salinity, I did not notice any drag. Try your hand at floating in the Great Salt Lake, as legend has it that near the shore you can float without a lifejacket due to the high salt levels. With 10,000 miles of shoreline, it can be one of the most rewarding places to paddle in North America.

The sunsets over the great Salt Lake are so uniquely beautiful and I’ve always admired them. I’m curious about all over the islands and remote parts of the lake. Because of the size and shallowness of the lake (and other factors) there are weather anomalies that can be quite dangerous out there. A huge helicopter went down out there during the first gulf war and I worked on the monument for it out on Antelope island back in the 90s.
