<P> Great Salt Lake Minerals Company (a subsidiary of Compass Minerals) extracts minerals from the northern bay . The company potentially benefited from the higher salinity of the north - west arm of the lake but had difficulty accessing water from the lake because of lower water level . Prior to the opening of the causeway the intake channels had to be extended to reach the water . </P> <P> Morton Salt, Cargill Salt, Broken Arrow Salt and the Renco Group's U.S. Magnesium each extract minerals from the southern bay, and could benefit from a more natural mixture of water between the two sides of the lake . </P> <P> Dramatically fluctuating lake levels have inhibited the creation and success of tourist - related developments . Additionally, there is a problem with pollution from industrial and urban effluent, as well as a natural "lake stink" caused by the decay of insects and other wildlife, particularly during times of low water . </P> <P> Despite these issues, the lake remains one of Utah's largest tourist attractions . Antelope Island State Park is a popular tourist destination that offers panoramic views of the lake, hiking and biking trails, wildlife viewing and access to beaches . </P>
