 Salt, salt, everywhere! |
7200 West Lake Point (I-80 Exit 111) Salt Lake City, UT 84074 United States +1 801 250 1898 / +1 435 773 2941 |
This area has been popular with bathers since the Mormon Pioneers first arrived in the basin in the middle of the 19th century. Although no swimming ability is necessary (the high salt content of the water keeps even non-swimmers afloat), bathers should be aware that the super-salty water may irritate throat, eyes and nose. A small visitors' center offers a museum, local information and a video about the lake, while the private SaltAir development provides a few shops, some food outlets and space for concerts and other events.

Fun in the Utah sun |
1200 W 1700 S Salt Lake City, UT 84101 United States +1 801 972 3300 http://www.ragingwatersutah.com |
Although waterslides are a main attraction, these traditional plunges are not the only rides here. A huge ocean-wave pool creates swells large enough for boogie boarding, a 1,000-foot river carries tubers down a winding path, and a rope swing drops flailing swimmers into Adventure Cove. A snack shop offers all the expected treats, and the main office rents out lockers and inflatable tubes. Life jackets are available free of charge. Season passes are available. Check website for prices and further details. Review © 2007, Wcities |
