Looking south from Saratoga hot springs. Salt Lake and nearby towns have several hot springs.The waterfowl abound in number and variety.
A National Geographic from the early 1940s features Utah Lake as one of the most crystal clear lakes in America.
World War II changed that.
Its strategic location as the Crossroads of the West, with roads going to naval ports in San Diego, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, made it the perfect inland location for Geneva Steel Company, and for huge naval depots in Ogden.
With the closing of Geneva (go to the BYU Museum of Art for a photo exhibit currently featured), Utah Lake is making a significant comeback.
Along the southwest edges of the lake, the Molida Bird Refuge is an excellent field for bird, insect and botany studies and specimens.
