' Lake Bonneville was the forerunner of the Great Salt Lake. This huge body of water was nearly as large as Lake Michigan, only much deeper. Lake Bonneville was 145 miles wide and 346 miles long, covering much of Utah and parts of Idaho and Nevada. It was as deep as 1,050 feet and its shoreline is still somewhat visible along the face of some of the Wasatch Mountains. Lake Bonneville (fresh water) flourished in the great ice age when evaporation was very small. It flourished 50,000 years ago and lasted up until as recent as 12,000 years ago.

The area near the Great Salt Lake was a neutral ground for Indians. Escalante and .rDomiffquet 'In., their ;I77S travels had turned b4tk to the south just 50 miles south of seeing the Great Salt Lake. They heard strange indian stories of an inland sea, however. In 1824, Jim Bridger tasted the waters of the lake and mistook it for the Pacific Ocean. He is the first known white man to have seen the lake. Years later, Captain Freemont and Kit Carson explored the lake. The Mormon Pioneers explored the lake in the spring of 1848. The name Salt Lake came by word of mouth and Great" was added to its name because of its site. Salt Lake City wu originally Great Salt Lake called an act of congress but City, in 1868 eliminated that term. Salt was annually taken from the lake by the pioneers, usually in the fall. Three rivers empty into the Great Salt Lake, in- cluding the Weber, Bear River and Jordan Rivers.

Most of the islands are privately owned. --The Great Salt Lake is truly the Western Hemispheres own dead sea. Rise and (all of the water level greatly affects its salinity, but generally, the salt content is about 25 percent. This means that for every four pounds of water in the Lake, there is one full pound of salt. Early explorers used the lake water to preserve meat. Today man has changed the salt content of the lake in several pieces by constructing causeways on it. For example, the salinity of the water in the lake on the north side of the causeway leading to Antelope Island is about 25 percent, while the water on the south has nearly become flash water and Is only 2 percent saline.
