An observation tower at the Great Salt Lake Shoreline Preserve for birders to observe water fowl, and raptors. The Great Salt Lake Shoreline Preserve covers 4,400 acress of wetlands, and upland habitat along the eastern side of the Great Salt Lake. It helps support waterfowl, raptors, and migratory shorebirds. During the spring and fall more than 4-6 million migratory birds visit the Great Salt Lake on their way to their summer and winter habitat. Some travel as far as the Arctic in the summer, while others venture to Central and South America during the winter months. The Preserve is owned and managed by the Nature Conservancy, and is north of Salt Lake City off of I-80.
