STANSBURY ISLAND ROAD

















    Enjoy riding your mountain bike down the road to the north side of the Island where you'll find a restroom, several kiosks and a hiking trail to the salt flats.
MILEAGE: 17 miles total
ELEVATION GAIN: 180'
DIRECTIONS: Take I-80 west toward Wendover, do not take the Tooele exit but continue on I-80 west to exit 84 (SR 138). 
After you exit take the Broken Arrow Salt road (dirt) and do not take the Grantsville road.  
You'll cross the railroad twice.  GPS: 40.806380, -112.520406
Travel on the main dirt road 7.1 miles until you come upon a sign: 
STANSBURY ISLAND INTERPRETIVE TRAIL where you'll see a parking loop marked with large boulders on the right side of the road.   
Do not turn left and follow the road to the salt plant toward the lake.  Keep driving straight past the gravel pit and look for the above sign.
NO RESTROOMS at the trailhead.
