Lake Point, UT

united states

Lake Point hugs the Great Salt Lake's southeastern shore about 20 miles west of Salt Lake City via I-80 to Exit 99, then south on Route 36. This quiet community of 2,500 sits where the Oquirrh Mountains meet salt flats, popular with valley commuters seeking lakeside living. The area's claim to fame is nearby Spiral Jetty, Robert Smithson's iconic earthwork sculpture jutting into the lake's mineral-rich waters.
