The judge's wife, Kate, fashioned his grave, which quietly stands sentinel down on the southwest shore. Since that time, the only major activity on the island has been the off and on usage over the years for grazing sheep. F remont Island rises 500 ft. out of the Great Salt Lake and is grass-covered, with only two or three small trees clustered around a small spring on the south side. Notwithstanding the paucity of shade, there is plenty of charm to be found. It is totally undeveloped and untrammeled and the peace and tranquility encountered there must be experienced to be appreciated.
T here are two strips suitable for landing on the island.
Both are adequate for most planes, though the actual strips are narrow. One strip is located on the top ridge, which runs north and south down the spine of the island. It is about 1900 ft. long with wide flat grassy ground to the west. It drops off sharply and very abruptly to the east. The preferred way to land is from the south landing to the north.
