Antelope Island
Antelope Island is an island in the Great Salt Lake in Utah, extending several miles with rolling hills and shoreline. The island features hiking trails, a visitor center, and several preserved buildings from the 1800s that you can explore.
The island was originally a ranching area and was settled in the late 1800s, leaving behind several ranch structures still visible today. It later became a state park to protect the wildlife and landscape.
The island is accessible via a paved road connected to the mainland by a causeway, with free vehicle access. Most paths are easy to walk, but there is little shade, so bring water and sun protection.
The island is home to a herd of pronghorn antelope that are often spotted while walking and gave the island its name. Visitors frequently observe these wild animals in the distance and get a sense of their native habitat.
