Description
Utah State Department of State Parks
Antelope Island State Park
The largest island in the Great Salt Lake is reached via a narrow road spanning seven miles from mainland to island. A visitor center orients guests with the biology, geology, history, and backcountry trail system. There is also a gift shop located in the visitor center. The historic Fielding Garr Ranch, located at the southeast end of the island is open year-round. Antelope Island is home to a herd of 600 American bison. Island range lands and shorelines are also home to antelope, deer, coyotes, shorebirds, and waterfowl.
This park is an ideal spot for viewing sunsets over Great Salt Lake. The campgrounds are primitive with pit toilets and no shower facilities. (Modern facilities, including hot showers and drinking water are located at the day-use area, approximately one-half mile away).
