All I know is where I've been and got talked to. I attached the picture/map. If you get off I80 right where Burmester Road intersects and does the loop, there is a little, dirt side road there. I followed it to right next to the tracks and parked. there were some old buildings, junk and construction trailers there. I crossed the tracks and kited out on the flats right there.
The railroad guy came down 2 hours later and said that he heard someone call in my "abandoned" car to the police. Apparently you can't park within X feet of the railroad and you also cannot cross the tracks. But the land I was on is definitely public land. He didn't have any issue but thought the police might be showing up. So I was done anyway and left.
I heard there is a spot about 2-3 miles before that i80 turn off, closer to the Stansbury turn off where you can actually drive under the tracks and park in the public area and kite away. I haven't been back yet to explore it as the salt flats ripped the crap out of my inflatable kite. I DO recommend a foil.
