Here is a news item on KSL.... I didn't know they had done any improvements....

(KSL NEWS) Saratoga Springs - Saratoga Springs city officials have spent five years and close to a million dollars upgrading Utah Lake's only western boating marina. This year city officials are optimistic it will be open because of the rising water levels.
Mayor Timothy Parker said, "We’ve put about million dollars into the boat harbor in the form of break waters. That was big investment. We added some landscaping and facilities around like picnic areas and restrooms. Last year you couldn’t use it all summer and there wasn’t a day you could actually go down and launch your boat where you valued your propeller. I was starting to wonder if it was a wise decision."
Now that the water level is up, Division of Wildlife Resources have given the city a grant to maintain the marina now that the lakes levels have risen. City leaders hope to have a banner year for boating.

Ive heard of this marina mentioned before.
Just so Im straight on it - is it a new marina on the wast side or the old Saratoga marina all fixed up?

Unless the City of Saratoga sold it recently, they also own the one at Pelican Point.

From first hand view of the marina,it's not the old marina at saratoga that is private now,the pelican ramp is also private,This lanch is between the two ramps,Its easy to find just look for the horse property on the east side of the road going south,its after the golf course about 1/4 to 1/2 a mile past the golf course,dont know if the signs are up,but last time I was there during the duck hunt,it wasn't finished and I didn't have to pay to drive in and take a look.
hope this helps.
