    My Grandma Edith and Grandpa George lived in the last house on the road to Antelope Island. I played on the Salt Flats and my uncle would occasionally shoot a goose they would have for dinner. Not me! I do not eat meat. I Love Animals and birds. I do eat their products..however..milk and eggs. 😊❤

    A few years ago, I went to Salt Lake City. They are so embarrassed of their lake that they deny knowledge of it. I couldn't even find a reference to it on the tourist maps. We drove around and around in circles until we stopped at a hotel sitting in front of a filthy stinky beach, with tons of flies and hopping bugs and dead birds everywhere. RIP lake.

    No one is embarrassed about the lake. There are small tourist attractions, hiking, and camping available on Antelope Island in the lake. Even some boating. Some people swim in it. It is true that because of evaporation, mineral deposits, bacteria, and brine shrimp the lake can be stinky. But "embarrassment" doesn't apply. It's possible that because Salt Lake City is a "city" that people in the city didn't worry about a lake that was 45 minutes away by interstate and side roads. Hence the supposed "embarrassment" you encountered. I know because I spent 15 years in Salt Lake City.

    Dizzy Derwish haha there were quite a few people in the water in 2012 when I visited. I could float easy. But I wouldn’t go in it again because it’s a pretty nasty low quality puddle. Minnesotans like myself would never call the great salt lake a “lake”

    wtbman You have never been out to the GSL. I have. If you go out west from Thatcher- out past the former Thiokol, you get to a single road that follows the western edge of an arm of the lake. No, I’m not talking about Antelope Island. You continue more than an hour south. You look across the lake and see the striped rock face to the east of Ogden. You finally reach a pipeline and old, broken moorings of a causeway. The place is choking in toilet paper and stinking sludge. The place is remote and desolate so you won’t need your swimsuit. Find out if you can float nude in excrement!
