what a way to kickoff Utah!…read more as we made it early to the State, we decided to start with the Great Salt Lame State Park. the fee is $10 per vehicle, but goes higher with other trucks and boats once you park, right after the entrance, you can walk out to 1) the actual beach, which has salts and the crystal clear river, 2) the pier with boats, 3) the overview or 4) other trails. in any case, toy also have a map of the State Park my favorite thing to do here was walk the beach and check out the water. i got my best pics here, as you can climb the rocks and get better views. you def smell the nature, fish and algae once you walk closer, but the experience is one of a kind Th, Salty Park! Utah will be fun

We visited Great Salt Lake State Park, which has a $10 entry fee. The views were nice, but honestly…read morenot worth much walking around. The smell was overwhelming-like dead fish--and after about a mile of walking, things went downhill fast. My husband and I both started sinking into the mud, nearly to our knees. It was a horrible feeling, and getting unstuck was messy and stressful. By the time we freed ourselves, our shoes and legs were completely drenched in smelly, muddy water, and we still had to walk about a mile back like that. When we asked at the welcome center where we could rinse off, they told us to use the showers near the bathrooms--but those required a code we hadn't been given. After some effort, we eventually got access, but we were uncomfortable and smelly the entire time. If not for that mishap, the stop would have been more enjoyable. On the positive side, it is pet-friendly, and the views from the shoreline were worth a few quick photos. Just be very cautious if you plan to walk near the water's edge.

We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful early June weather and found the Conservation Garden…read morePark just a few miles from our lunch spot. The first amazing surprise is there was no entry fee! We entered the garden and quickly ran into another surprise- a human-sized chess board! My boys wanted to play a game against each other...didn't know it was going to take 45mins...but it was fun to sit and watch and listen to the birds chirping. We then continued our tour around the grounds and saw many wonderful plants, trees, bushes, flowers and more. The grounds are beautifully manicured! There some educational areas where you can learn more about irrigation, landscaping and design. To walk around the garden takes about 30mins, but we spent 1.5hrs here as we took a lot of pictures and asked some questions from the workers. The workers and volunteers were very gracious to answer our questions and teach us more about the garden. You can tell they love their job and they love visitors. At the end of the tour, I made sure to drop a little cash in their donation box. Thanks Conservation Garden Park for the great time!

They have great visual exhibits, labelling placards, and fun interactive activities. 10/10 worth the stop, and I can't believe this place is free to the public. We stopped in here to take some casual iPhone photos as a family since we don't see eachother everyday. (Photography requires a $10 pass) It was the perfect backdrop for what we were doing, and we had a great time exploring the gardens through the park along the way.

Look into the construction progress at the visitor's center before you go since that relates to…read moreavailability of potable water. The recommendation is drinking 1L of water per person per hour. I was surprised that this state park has $15 entry per car, but I think it's worth it! I found the restrooms clean. Some roads are dirt while the main parts are paved. The roads are well maintained. The self guided tour of the ranch including original equipment from many decades of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was informative. Parking is easy next to the ranch. Horses are still there. A marina is onsite, but it appeared quite dried up such that you cannot dock boats on the day I went. Even in the first 20 minutes past the visitor's center, you'll likely see flies, dragonflies, bison, antelopes, birds, and more!

Yuck. - It's a 10-20min walk from parking to the water. Coarse sand. May wanna wear shoes. Little rocks will sneak into your sandals. - The sight of dead birds and millions of flies, dead and alive, throughout the beach and the stench of what I thought was ubiquitous decomposed bison dung but likely was actually the sulfurous odor of detritus (still revolting though) discouraged me from fulfilling the bucket list goal I came here for: to prove the rumor that the human body really is unsinkable in the hypersaline water of the Great Salt Lake. I couldn't bring myself to lie down. Only let the water up to my calves. Ain't no way I'm risking full skin infection within the 1st day of my vacation. Still had 7 days to go. Begrudgingly, I simply took a picture from where I stood, then slowly backed away from the omnipresent death around me. . On my way driving out I asked the lady at the entrance booth about the water quality. She said the sight of those many flies and the dead animals is normal around the super salty water and that it's still safe to float in it. She may be right (as the Internet also agrees), but I couldn't bring myself to go through with it, especially since there weren't many other people there doing the same thing to help me feel reassured. + Glad the showers by the parking lot are fully functional though. + And a hose next to the restrooms next to the showers. . Just gotta bring your own soap. + Sources say pronghorns live on this island. * Fun fact: Pronghorns are the 2nd fastest land animal on Earth, just after the cheetah! - Didn't see any pronghorns or bison during my visit though. Granted, I didn't visit as far deep in as Fielding Garr Ranch. You might have better luck. . $15/car. A bit expensive for me since as you can see, my experience came up short. And as it's a state park, it's not covered by the $80 America the Beautiful annual pass. . Only a few people were at this State Park when I visited early Saturday evening. - VC still under maintenance.
