Visitors should only go to the salt when the flats are completely dry. There are sometimes closures when the salt is moist or there's standing water on the surface. The Bonneville Salt Flats is administered by the Bureau of Land Management for public use and enjoyment. The salt was once mined for salt to be used in food.ĭriving is permitted on the salt flats. The formation of the Salt Flats began at the end of the last Ice Age, when the waters of ancient Lake Bonneville began to recede. This is the largest of many salt flats located in Utah. The area is a remnant of the Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. The Bonneville Salt Flats are a densely packed salt pan.
