Description
Added by Eric Bennett
Unique scenery you won't find many other places. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. Incredible reflection photography shots.
Rarely will you ever see another person at the underrated Stansbury Island, the second largest island within the Great Salt Lake in Utah - even though a dirt causeway connects it to land, it is still considered an island. The lack of crowds make this a good place to hike, take photos, and enjoy the sunrise or sunset. Just about an hour drive from Downtown Salt Lake City, you will find Stansbury Island and its many lakes. The lack of crowds also includes a lack of rangers or maintenance so the place is pretty rugged - as always, be careful and stay safe.
Par of this land is BLM owned, but a portion of it is PRIVATE LAND, so please stay on trail, keep an eye out for signs, and be sure to be respectful of these land owners. During the winter months it gets very chilly and windy here so bring good, warm gear!
