Overview

Salt Ponds is a unique spot near the Great Salt Lake, on the salt evaporation ponds. These vast flat salt expanses offer exceptional conditions for landkiting and shallow water kiting. Flat terrain as far as the eye can see, with no obstacles, allowing kiting in all wind directions. Surreal landscape reminiscent of Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni. The ponds often contain a thin layer of brackish water. Season from April to November.
