Local Secrets, Big Finds 2007 Pick

  • March 18, 2008
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Local Secrets from New York, New York
You don't have to be a bird watcher to enjoy a day at the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve, a 4,000-acre wetlands region that’s home to thousands of birds migrating between Canada and South America. This is the lake's largest nesting spot for white-faced ibis and "over 250 types of birds are known to frequent the area." With a relatively new visitor center including a 30-foot observation tower, mile-long boardwalk loop, and open-air pavilion, it’s also a great place to learn about birds in a "serene and secluded atmosphere." The center also showcases art, fun facts, and even poems providing information about the lake system, wetland habitats, and wildlife.
