Description: The Spiral Jetty airstrip appears more like a rutted two-track road that runs along the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake almost 2 miles north of the famous Spiral Jetty. The airstrip lies on State Sovereign Land to the west and Private Land to the east. 

Runway: 1250 ft long x 13 ft wide hard rutted two-track road with a slight slope towards the lake.

Approach Considerations: Prefer approaching from the west, departing to the west. Out of courtesy to visitors of the Spiral Jetty suggest you keep your approaches and departures over the lake.

Amenities: No

Windsock: Yes! Just installed!

Jay Rich visited 1 month ago in a cessna 150 with 5.00 tires

Landed there a couple of weeks ago and was surprised to find an occupied site about a 1/4 mile north of the runway. Walked over there and talked to them and found it to be a temporary lithium mining prospect exploring if mining there could be profitable in the future. Also found a rattle snake in the area..............................Jay

In great condition, the goat head thorns are getting bad out there so be careful if you have thin tires, the Desser 4 ply will puncture with these.

The strip is in great condition. The addition of the windsock is nice…once I found it. It’s kind of hidden on the northeast side of the strip in the bushes.

First time in. Thanks to those that put up the new wind sock! Surface condition good. Only thing I saw was some 4' brush/bushes on the eastern half that are only 15-20' centerline. High wing clears them, but they're a distraction on the rollout. Surprised to see 8-10 cars parked further down at spiral jetty on a Wed... avoid to be friendly.
