Vehicle gates are open daylight hours only on weekdays in winter, but hikers can walk into the area anytime. Turn north on Utah 108 for 0.1 mile, then west on Utah 98 to Hooper. Continue west on 5500 South, then north on 7500 West to the wetlands. More and more, however, cycling along the area's dikes and bird watching are becoming popular. We do a lot of school bus tours, and we get a lot of people coming out just to look.
Many bird watchers do so from their vehicles.
Wildlife are somewhat accustomed to seeing vehicles on the dikes. Besides birds, red fox, muskrats, raccoons, frogs, snakes and a resident herd of mule deer are common. In February, the area hosts Bald Eagle Day, when extra staff with spotting scopes are on hand on hand to answer questions. Take I-15 to the Centerville exit and catch Frontage Road north to Glovers Lane. Then continue west to 1325 West, and south into the management area.
