2017 Map of Public Shooting Grounds

About this map

Public Shooting Grounds Waterfowl Management Area dominates this landscape along the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake, where freshwater inputs from Conner Springs meet a vast network of marshlands. The intricate hydrology of this region is characterized by a series of interconnected water bodies such as Widgeon Lake, Pintail Lake, and Division Lake, which sustain a critical habitat for migratory birds. The terrain transitions from these low-lying wetlands into significant landmarks like Painted Rock and the elevations of Little Mtn to the east. Navigational markers like Mollys Stocking and Mud Lake define the central marshes, while the southern margin opens into North Bay and Vallery Bay. This area reflects the specialized management of Utah's wetlands for conservation and public use in the early 21st century.
