===Saltair=== [[Image:Saltair-Pavilion-1900.jpeg|thumb|left|The original Saltair, {{circa|1900}}]] Three resorts have operated under the name [[Saltair (Utah)|Saltair]] on the southern shore of the lake since 1893. Rising and lowering water levels have affected each iteration.<ref>{{cite web |last = Strack |first = Don |title = Salt Lake, Garfield & Western Railway |url = http://utahrails.net/utahrails/saltair-route.php |access-date = April 14, 2011 |archive-date = November 30, 2011 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111130123307/http://utahrails.net/utahrails/saltair-route.php |url-status = live }}</ref> The first Saltair pavilion was destroyed by fire on April 22, 1925.
