Stansbury Island Bar

Tooele County, UT

Coordinate verified

Named Lake Bonneville shoreline bar on Stansbury Island in the Great Salt Lake — part of the classic Stansbury shoreline suite of tufa-cemented gravel and barrier-beach deposits that record late Pleistocene lake-level oscillations. Public island causeway/road access lets visitors stand on shoreline geomorphology without overlapping the already-scouted Stockton Bar on the south shore of Tooele Valley.
