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.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Very shallow brackish water (a few centimeters) on salt bottom. Hard, flat salt surface when dry — ideal for landkiting. High salinity irritating to skin and eyes. Flat terrain at 360°. Variable water temperature, very warm in summer from reflection.
Salt very irritating to eyes and skin — rinse thoroughly after session. Extreme summer heat with intense reflection — sunglasses and sunscreen mandatory. Rapid dehydration. Mountain thunderstorms with lightning. Isolation: no services or shade. Sulfur odor from the salt lake. Brine flies in season.
