Enjoy the water as you kayak, fish, sail, or swim off of the Great Salt Lake’s largest island. Wild animals such as antelope, birds, bison, bobcats, coyotes, deer, and horned sheep roam freely and claim Antelope Island home. Watching the wildlife is a must. Be sure to take caution around wildlife and keep your distance. Do not touch or feed wildlife.
Absorb the beauty of nature through spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and the spectacular night sky. The Visitor Center includes publications, restrooms, and exhibits for all to enjoy. The best times of year for exploring Antelope Island are early spring an late fall. Beware of the bug situation in late spring and early summer. Bug spray is mandatory. Don't forget to bring drinking water as well to stay hydrated during your adventures.
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
