Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge is located on the southern extreme of the Great Salt Lake Desert, and the natural springs have been essential in meeting human and wildlife needs over the past 11,000 years. The area is the ancestral homelands to the once nomadic Goshute (Gosiuta) tribe. These critical life-sustaining waters make Fish Springs a true oasis in the desert.
