A 10,000-acre spring-fed wetland oasis on the south edge of the Great Salt Lake Desert—critical Pacific Flyway habitat for waterfowl, shorebirds, and wading birds, and ancestral Goshute homeland. Public auto tour loops and observation sites occupy the same desert corridor that once hosted Pony Express and Overland Stage stations.
