Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve

Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve

(13 reviews)

We were staying with relatives north of Salt Lake City. After a morning flight and the drive to…read moretheir place, we had the rest of the afternoon free while they finished up at work. They recommended this spot if we wanted an easy hike nearby. The Preserve is at the end of a road in a large marshland. It is only a mile or so from multiple subdivisions and some shopping plazas, so it is not really 'remote'. However, once you get there, you feel much further away from civilization. There is a small parking lot, from which you can access the trail / boardwalk. The main trail is a roughly one mile loop, but there is a spur that connects it with the parking area. Along this spur is a small building (which is blended into the landscape, making it hard to notice from the road) which has restrooms and a water fountain. The spur trail ends at a platform from which the loop trail exits in 2 directions. Both here and at various points along the boardwalk, there are a number of signs which provide educational explanations about the area's wildlife. This is presented so as to be easy to understand from about mid-elementary school and up. Around at the far side of the loop is another larger platform which features an observation deck about 20 fee up. The boardwalk is level, but it is weathered in some spots and there is an occasional screw-head that sticks up above the wood, so exercise a bit of care during your walk. There are no trees or shade on the loop, other than at the 2 platforms, so bring water and a hat if you are here in the summertime. This is a good spot if you have kids along who are old enough to read the signs and who enjoy nature.

Nice walk. Take sunscreen and maybe some lunch/snacks, if you have little ones. My kiddo needed…read morebreaks by the second half. From the tower, you can see the city in the distance. Lots of information boards and educational posters. To see wildlife, you really have to look! At first glance, looks empty but truly full of living creatures. Birds hiding in the tall grass and making beautiful calls, frogs croaking in the distance, and movement in the "puddles". Beautiful views of the mountain.

What a gem! Take a walk, a jog, go fishing, have a picnic, feed the ducks, or relax on a bench and…read morejust enjoy the view. This is has become my favorite park and urban fishing spot. It's clean, spacious and the people are friendly. There are no mountains to the west so dusk hangs in there a little longer and the sunsets are beautiful every night. Fishing here has been good to us. We have caught the biggest rainbow we've ever hooked, at this pond. I was shocked! The bag limit is 2 per person, so it went quick. The 3 of us got our limit under and hour. The rest of the day was catch and release which is just as fun. The trout here are feisty! They are a blast to reel in. When I can't make it into the mountains, Jensen pond works for me. The ducks here are funny and crazy. Not crazy, like Clinton Pond ducks (those are just plain scary). I'm not a fan of giving ducks bread for their health and water quality reasons, but I'll loosen up a bit and let the little one give them some bread once in a while. She loves it, they love it. There's a melting pot of ducks and geese, all unique in their own way and each with a cute personality. If you'd like to take a little walk and get the bod moving, this is a good place. The sidewalk goes around the entire pond. I also noticed a ton of people walking around with their cell phones. So if you're into Pokemon, I think that's what they're doing. Jensen Nature Park is for everyone! Come check it out! Heads up: Be careful around the edges of the sidewalk. There are huge holes. I've rolled my ankles in them almost every time we came. I don't learn my lessons very easily.

It's a decent park to go for a walk or bike ride, but I wouldn't fish here. The lake is murky and…read morelittered with trash :( not a lot, but I still wouldn't trust eating the fish here... it's pretty though and right next to a bike trail
