Park Passes
by Dave Shearer 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Just a reminder that the GSL Park Pass stickers (the oval sticker on the rear view mirror) expires at the end of June. If you are a slip renter and do not have the new pass card please come down to my office to receive yours. We have some slip renters that have taken pictures on their phones and have been showing that when they come in. That will not work. You must have the original pass. I'm sorry if this is inconvenient but is necessary. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Park Manager Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Park & Marina 801-250-1898 [cid:image001.jpg@01D61F0A.AAEE8260]

Great Salt Lake State Park and Marina
by Dave Shearer 18 Apr '20

18 Apr '20

To our slip renters and marina users. Great Salt Lake State Park and Marina is open to all Utah visitors at this time. During this COVID-19 pandemic please practice responsible recreation by maintaining a six-foot distance from others, staying away from the park if you are sick or showing any Covid-19 symptom and helping keep the park clean. All organized events at the marina are still cancelled until May 1 at 11:59pm. Realize that other State Parks may still be closed to visitors from outside their counties. I have attached a map to easily identify which parks may still be under county ordered restrictions. Today's forecast is for partly cloudy conditions and a high of 57. Winds should be Gentle Breeze out of the north. I will keep you posted as updates come through. Remember that some State Parks are still under county restrictions. For more information you can visit www.stateparks.utah.gov<http://www.stateparks.utah.gov> Thanks Dave

Water Safety at GSL
by Dave Shearer 10 Apr '20

10 Apr '20

Many of you have heard that Magna was temporarily under an order to boil water before using it due to a dead racoon found in their water supply. Great Salt Lake State Park and Marina does not get our water from Magna. It comes from Stansbury Park and we were not affected by the order. Dave

Some Good News
by Dave Shearer 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

So we have some good news for the slip renters and rowers. Well not all the slip renters. The water is back on to the docks except B and D dock. B and D docks have some problems that we will work on this week to repair. It is likely that breaks will happen on the other docks over the next week or two as this is normal for spring when we turn the water back on. Please report ANY sign of leak as soon as possible so we can address it immediately. Also PLEASE keep your dock spaces clean. We have some junk and dock boxes that are not to approved code and are encroaching into the main fairway of the dock. Some of this is also potential projectiles in wind events. I am going to single out one dock in particular. This is I dock. We are expecting a wind event today and tomorrow. And some of your neighbors are beginning to complain about encroachment into the main dock fairway. APPROVED dock boxes must be black (UV Protection), they must be mounted with stainless lag bolts and washers; and must not hang into the main dock section more than four inches. Hoses should be coiled neatly. And hoses SHALL NOT HAVE anything but plastic or brass couplers attached to the hose bib on the pedestal. It takes less than a month for an aluminum hose coupler to fuse to our hose bibs. Hopefully the COVID19 passes soon and we can begin the truly enjoy the marina community again. Stay safe. Dave

IMPORTANT - The front gate has a temporary fix so you can use your code to access the Park after hours. BUT - the temporary fix to have the gate open automatically after hours requires you to pull all the way up to the gate before it will activate and open when leaving. There is a temporary sensor installed just inside the gate. It is mounted on a yellow pole just next to the Jersey Barrier. Thanks Dave

Earthquake Update
by Dave Shearer 21 Mar '20

21 Mar '20

We have inspected everything now and repaired the water leak. The heavy equipment is clear from the road. We are lifting the time restrictions on slip renters and the clubs to get into the park. YOU WILL NEED YOUR DOCK KEY TO GET IN AND OUT AFTER HOURS. The electronic gate still does not work so it WILL NOT open for you when you are leaving. The swing gate and electronic gate will open at 9am tomorrow and close at 4:30pm. Slip renters and the clubs located out here can come in before 9am and stay after hours AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOUR DOCK KEY WITH YOU. Please, if the swing gate is closed and you need to unlock it MAKE SURE IT IS LOCKED BEHIND YOU. Be courteous but do not let the general public through the closed gates. I will be sending out another email in a day or two regarding some people scolding the entrance station staff for not letting friends and family in for free. Please understand the entrance staff are doing their job. It is not an easy job right now during these challenging times. We are trying to create a policy that comes more in line with Park rules but can still be as accommodating as possible. Go sailing (or sculling) have fun and enjoy the lake. It is supposed to be a great day.

Well, things are not quite what we hoped for. The crew needs to work unobstructed through the weekend to fix the water leak. We also want more time to assess what is happening to the road. Therefore we will be completely closed through the weekend. There will be NO access to the park except for slip renters. At 9am, if you are a slip renter, you may come in on Saturday and Sunday (unless something changes tonight). You MUST be out by 5pm though. The road will be closed and construction crew will turn you back around UNLESS you identify yourself as a slip renter. We certainly want you to have access to your boats but please work with us while we continue water line repairs and assess what is happening to the road. Please honor the 9am to 5pm rule through the weekend. I am so sorry for this inconvenience. Dave
