Antelope Island

Antelope Island State Park encompasses the largest island in Utah's Great Salt Lake, covering approximately 42 square miles of diverse terrain ranging from alluvial plains with prairie grassland to mountainous central areas. Located in the southeastern portion of the lake near Salt Lake City and Davis County, the island rises dramatically from the hypersaline waters of the Great Salt Lake to an elevation of 6,596 feet at Frary Peak. The park is renowned for its free-roaming bison herd, which has become one of the most genetically pure herds in North America. Antelope Island serves as a crucial habitat for wildlife and offers visitors an extraordinary opportunity to experience the unique ecology of the Great Basin while enjoying panoramic views of the Wasatch Front and the shimmering expanse of the Great Salt Lake.
