Great Salt Lake Visitor Center

Great Salt Lake Visitor Center is a staffed or separately operated facility associated with Great Salt Lake State Park; building hours may be shorter than the surrounding grounds.

Use the entrance station and park near the visitor center, marina, campground or Sunset Beach. Black Rock uses a separate trailhead and a walk of a little over one-quarter mile.

Summer hours are Monday-Thursday 11:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. and Friday-Sunday 9:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.; seasonal hours can change.

Flush restrooms serve the developed park. Showers are limited to registered campers and marina slip renters using a check-in code.

Day use is $10 per vehicle up to eight people, $5 for senior vehicles, and $2 per pedestrian or bicyclist. Camping, tours, slips and permits cost separately.

The visitor center, marina and developed viewpoints have firm routes. Low water can move the shoreline far from developed access and create mud or uneven salt crust.

Leashed pets are generally allowed in outdoor areas under state-park rules. Keep them out of sensitive bird habitat, marina operations and unsafe shoreline mud.

Visitor exhibits, boats and sunset overlooks are useful with children, but the beach is not a managed swim facility. Supervise closely around docks, steep ramps, mud and salt water.

Great Salt Lake Visitor Center is a staffed or separately operated facility associated with Great Salt Lake State Park; building hours may be shorter than the surrounding grounds. Lake levels are low and shoreline conditions change. Stage 2 fire restrictions are active; check current water, algae, wind and marina conditions before boating or walking onto exposed lakebed.

Regular transit does not provide a practical trip to the marina. Drive or arrange a confirmed round trip; mobile service and rideshare availability can vary.
