Very different experience than I expected. The park itself isnt that great. The picnic areas are all out in the open in the sun and the area surrounding is super ugly with not much of a view, which kind of surprised me. The museum is sort of interesting, but its small and takes about 10 minutes to get through. The Salt lake is DISGUSTING. Although there were locals out playing in this stagnant, very pungent, fly infested water and beach, I wouldnt advise getting in.So now youre probably wondering why I gave this such a good rating. That is because nature is amazing. The sunset there on the beach of the Salt Lake was amazing. The seemingly mile long hike to the waters edge was interesting too since its all hardened (what we supposed was salt) deposits that were fun to explore (make sure you keep your shoes on for this! Very hard on the feet). The wildlife you see on this island is super cool too. There are weird little antelope living here (hence the name) that apparently are native to this place and of course huge herds of bison that will literally cross the road right in front of you, make up for all the rest. Apparently there are hikes to do around the island too, but since it was so hot and there isnt any trees to speak of as well as the fact that we had kids with us, we decided against trying those out. Theres nothing that separates you from the wild life so these hikes are for the adventurous! (Photos are from the beach we went to-Im not sure where my photos of the bison went, but they were right next to our car at one point which was both amazing and terrifying at the same time)

Antelope Island was a very cool state park with lots of history and beauty.The first two pictures below are of Ladyfinger Point on the northern tip of the island, it looks very beautiful when its clear out but also looks beautiful when its cloudy out.The third picture below is of the Antelope Island Visitor Center where it has a movie, exhibits about the islands past and information about the park. The visitor center looks very modern and sleek and has good bathrooms.The fourth picture below is of a lone bison that we saw right outside the visitor center, the island is home to bison, pronghorn antelope, and mule deer.The fifth through seventh pictures are of the Fielding Garr Ranch, a historic ranch on the lower east side of the island with a giant bison herd just by the far fence in the seventh picture.In all our visit to Antelope Island was very good and the eighth picture below is of the sign when you first enter the park. I rate this state park a 5 out of 5 stars

Awesome park. The kids have tons of fun identifying animals and climbing the rocks found around the park mainly near the visitor center. The beaches are excellent for photographs but be aware of the biting gnats in late spring through summer. The bike/hiking trails are good with awesome views. Be careful with the Bison. The ranch is also cool to see. Overall....a little gem next to civilization.

I have lived in here SLC for 30 years and had not been at this place, what a surprise and also lost time I loved this place it is soon much.It evoked so many good memories and feelings.My experience was filled with spirituality serenity peace, I want back in time were one can be one with nature. I came back home re-energize.

Beautiful park and great trails. We saw a couple of bison roaming the beach hanging out. The fresh air there was very calming and peaceful. We also took a dip in the salt lake here and it was a very cool experience. I Will definitely come back here with more friends and family. Highly recommend for a good day trip for the whole family!

We were staying in Salt lake City for a couple of days and wanted to see the Great Salt Lake. Googling showed to go to Antelope Island and really enjoyed it. Great views of the Salt Lake as well as lots of information on the lake. You drive over a causeway to get there which gives you great views.There are a lot of places to view and they have lots of hiking trails. The visitor center is nice and gives you a good bit of info on the place. There is a campground on the island and a old ranch you can visit.If you are lucky you can see the Bison they have on the island.Admission is $15 but for seniors only $10 and I think worth it.

This park is a very good place to visit if its warm out, I have visited this park since I was 7, It will forever hold a special place in my heart. Very good trails for mountain biking and hiking. You get to see lots of wildlife, although some smaller wildlife tends to get too familiar with you, watch your step!

Fun place to take a ride and see wild life and the Great Salt Lake. Visitor Center has some real cool things. Theres a store inside. Bison fun to watch. Just dont get to close. They will come after you. Beautiful sunsets and cool stuff to take pictures off.

This place was awesome. See the Bison and Antelope roam so closely was a nice surprise. In addition to the views.....I mean definitely a must visit. Even the drive to the island is scenic. We happened to see a Coyote crossing at a shallow point on the lake from the roadway to the island. The driving trails are well maintained. We didnt have time to hike, but plan on returning to hike in the future!

While visiting Salt Lake City, we had a chance to visit this wildlife gem. Very diverse landscape that is primitive and beautiful at the same time. We saw many bison and even had a coyote come right up to the car door. There were many great views to take in of the expanse of the Great Salt Lake.

This park was amazing to me.To be able to see wild bison just roaming free was just wonderful!! The visitor center is small but very nice and informative..great place for kids all around.

I enjoyed the drive to the island. The sunset was nice. A little difficult to navigate. A very uniquelyUtahn landscape.

We had a full day in salt lake and wanted to check out the lake. We googled Antelope Island, and decided to check it out. It costs $15 a vehicle. We drove to lady finger point trail and the beach. Definitely not a beach you’d want to spend the day at. The sand is rough, water isn’t ideal for swimming, and there are swarms of flies. There are a few places to hike, and you get to see the bison. Interesting spot to check out, but not really worth more than an hour or two.

It was the perfect day to visit the island. Such an easy and short drive from salt lake. Only $15 to get in at the toll booth. The lake was beautiful under a brisk June sky with some puffy clouds along for the ride. The sand was soft as a blanket as we ran towards the lake. We saw a lizard skattle by us and got to see 4 buffalo cross the road in front of us. Really nice way to spend the afternoon.

A really great place to have a family activity. Tons of short family hikes and we almost always see buffalo. This last time, we saw lots within yards from our car. (Dont get near them on foot, though!) We also saw several antelope. The rock formations are interesting, too. Great family hikes everywhere.

It was nice to revisit this place, but it has definitely declined since I went there in elementary school. Back then the wildlife was all over the place. You could see antelope and buffalo just about everywhere you looked. The island was so lush and green back then as well. This time around we saw a few buffalo from pretty far away, and there was no green foliage at all. We bought a few items from the gift shop, including two pairs of binoculars. My brother in laws pair worked great, but mine were blurry on one side for some reason. It was slightly fun, but also a little disappointing. The views are still gorgeous, even if a little barren.

With the water on the lake down, the beach was a good little trek in the sand to get to, but it was a breathtaking view with a calming vibe. The island had little to do other then drive around it to see the nature. If you’re looking for a view, It was a good place to stop.

This place was awesome. The entrance fee is $15 per vehicle (up ro 8 people), the drive was beautiful, you could see water and birds. There ade different points that you can drive to, easy drive, Buffalo point was one of my favorites. First time here and we were able to see Bisons, the one in the picture was so close to us, near one of the camping tables, it was awesome. Restrooms bu the visitor area are the best ones you can go, the rest are kind of smelly. In the Visitor center, there is a little exposition, were they tell you about the wildlife and bugs and birds, even the rocks, it was very informative.

Exceptional experience, close to downtown for a day trip. Lots of hikes and incredible scenery

The bison were great ... but no much water the camp grounds and boat marina were disappointing

Its a beautiful place to visit with the family. We enjoyed the day, we will definitely be coming back.

I absolutely loved it here! I read so much online about the smell and brine flies, and the walk on the beach to the water, but it wasn’t so bad! I hardly noticed a smell (maybe time of year?). The hot sunny walk on “beach” was doable — and I’m partially disabled — because the beach is a lot more solid than it appears. The brine flies covered our bags right by the water but easily move away. More fascinating to look at than bothersome. Once we waded far enough, we could float in the great salt lake! Water is a pleasant temp under the 100 degree Utah sun. Loved every minute. I would return with a float during a cooler time of year and stay all day.Bring quarters to shower!Bison everywhere in the park, too! Delightful experience all around.

Beautifully maintained park on Salt Lake. Bison are plentiful but pronghorn sheep couldnt be found. A couple areas for beach access with a close to half-mile trek through soft sand.

I have been coming here for years. I have done solo hikes and group hikes. I’ve used a photo taken on Frary peak trail for my graduation picture. Buffalo point hike was the best to take maternity photos and to take my son after. I have taken kids that I’ve worked with and I’ve taken family who have visited from out of state. This place never disappoints. The views are amazing. The wildlife is impressive. If you haven’t seen a buffalo up-close you need to. They are massive and nothing like anything I’ve ever seen. I will always come back. Regardless of the brine flies that gather in droves on the shores and regardless of the biting gnats also known as noseeums, wow those are annoying. Regardless I will be back and as my son gets older we will explore every aspect of that amazing state park.

Antelope Island in Utah is a must see. It has beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife. Drive all the paved road and do a little hike and you will be amazed.

A wonderful place to spend the day! Nice little visitors center, a beach with soft sand and water to play in. Tones of hiking trails and places to camp. The bathrooms near the beach were honestly the best public park bathrooms Ive been in. My only negative is the vast amount of brine flies... but its really to be expected on that type of lake. shade is in short supply so if you go during July or August you may want to bring some shade with you.There is also a few restaurants on the island but we didnt end up going to one.Also, BUFFALO!

One of My Favorite Day-Trip Destinations when I visited Salt Lake City...Nice Morning hike before it got to Hot on a June/July Visit to Utah.

This place was awesome. Worth the drive. But, smells awful.

Antelope island is a fun experience if you make sure you hit all the right stuff. First, get yourself over to the visitors center and learn about this awesome little island. Next make sure you get a bison burger because its just part of the experience. If youre willing to brave the billions of brine flies, floating in the lake is a totally unique experience!Last I would try to hit some of the hiking trails. They are long and you do need to be aware of bison roaming around but the views across the lake are such a cool experience.

Awesome park in Utah. Costs about $15 for entry. We saw antelope, hordes or bison, and a very inquisitive coyote (do not feed wild animals people! Its terribly uncool and also illegal). Beautiful landscape, I felt like I was on Alderaan

This place is so great it makes me want to move to the Salt Lake City area. Only downside is the 15 dollar entry and closing times!

Interesting island park with very few visitors on the weekdays we were there. Climb to the top of a hill and you can enjoy the silence is nature. 500 Bison roam all over the island and likely near the road you drive on. Be careful and enjoy.

Fun place to go see the wildlife. It costs 15 dollars for an all day pass but we did not spend the entire day. Really fun to visit at least once.

Love this place for family time. Plus to learn about the heritage of Utah.

Magical confectionery Ancient beauty. Must repeat. It is awesome. Relaxing experience for the body and mind . We had a chance to exhale. Compelling the writer in my daughter and my soul with wonderment all around. Ya gotta come here. Never underestimate the continued mystery of the West. I know I never will---Lorena

Visited in mid-April, hard to do anything without being swarmed and bitten by no-see-ums (gnats). Probably better to visit another time of the year when biting gnats might not be so viscous. Very cool UT State Park though, we saw plenty of Bison, a horned owl at the ranch, and enjoyed the scenery and birds. There is also a restaurant here, though we didnt eat there. Plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails across the whole park.

What a fun island to vist. You can go right to the salt lake, walk trails of any level of difficulty and length, and see so many animals.It is worth the trip.

Absolutely beautiful. We were there during the first snowfall of the season.

This island is a wonderful mix of beautiful views and the stinkiest lake ever! We saw lots of wildlife. A few small hikes (larger hikes for adventures). And the cleanest bathrooms I have EVER experienced at a park. The signage was clear. The road was well maintained. Excellent choice for children. Also, if you are not an outdoor person 80 percent is car only if you like.

I was so excited to see this place. Its very beautiful and she definitely be experienced. However, I also chose to camp here which I would not do again. I am an experienced camper and found this campground just too hot, too little shade. The showers were abhorrent. And the bugs were just out of control. I could not get my space free of mosquitoes. I had hundreds in my sleeping area. Which of course meant spiders. Just dont do it

Great place! Lots of fun hikes, enough to do for a whole day. Saw lizards, bison, even a couple (small) snakes, all of which was super cool - the only problem was the bugs. They were mostly just by the beach, but lots of them.

Great State Park to explore. Many hikes/ bike trails. Beautiful at sunset. And so close to town!

Very great experience!! The $10 entrance fee is extremely reasonable. The visitor center had a nice layout of information about the island and the history of how it came to be. They also have a map that shows where the bison could be found through the park. We didn’t get to hike any of the longer trails, but through our drive it looks like the hikes would be incredible!

Fun trails to walk and explore. We were under the impression we would see more animals but the only one we saw were some bison. Even so it was fun. Be prepared for the stinky smell!

Antelope Island is a great break from the city. I was there when they were rounding up the bison in preparation for winter. On the central east side theres a whole section for cowboys to assemble all of their gear in order to do so. Many decent sized mule deer were also seen wandering around. And the bison burgers were pretty good as well.

We got in the water, the bugs were gross but I dont judge em. It was fun to make waves of bugs and wade through the yuck water. Very buoyant, and not fun to get water in the face at all. Good place to toughen your bare feet and beautiful sights

Our family really enjoyed the visit. The geography was fantastic to experience. Being from Kansas it was nice seeing the buffalo! I must admit... the nats were horrific but hey, this is their home and we are only visiting!

What a majestic place! Beautiful nature, wild life and breathtaking landscape all around us. We drove around and stop hundreds of times to get a shot. It was great. There is a better way to go to the beach other than by the Buffalo Grill restaurant. Keep driving and you will find it at the ladys finger. Much closer and nicer!

Not only do you get to see bison and pronghorn, but you can see thousands of migratory birds, beautiful burrowing owls, and amazing scenes. Its no wonder early european explorers originally thought they reached the ocean.Go get a buffalo burger at the restaurant, and dip your buns in this wonderful inland sea.

I participated in the races here, so a little different than spending the day here, but it was still incredibly fun! I saw so much wildlife. Buffalo were seemingly playing in the fields and where else do you see that?! So neat!!! I have only been here in the fall season so Ive only seen what it looks like all sage brush like, so from my pictures you can tell its not very colorful or beautiful haha. Make sure you bring bug spray. There are SO MANY mosquitoes. I got bit a ton and regret not taking bug spray. I thought since it was a morning race and I would be here till around 1030am I wouldnt need any and there wouldnt be bug (since mosquitoes come out at night) but I was very wrong. Doesnt matter the time of day. Bring bug spray or youll be itching! Also it kinda smells when you get closer to the water. And by kinda I mean a lot haha. But those are my only two complaints. You feel like youre out in the middle of nowhere and its quiet and peaceful and you get to see wildlife thats incredible! Recommend this place to all!

I dont use the words life changing lightly, but visiting this park can absolutely only be described as just that. The scenery and terrain is absolutely breathtaking, the silence and escape from city and civilization is incredible, and the proximity you get to the wildlife (in our case a herd of 300 bison not ten feet from our vehicle)... Ive never experienced anything like it. Make this a top priority.

This was my favorite go to spot in the Salt Lake area if I wanted a nearby peaceful get away. Buffalo and antelope roam the island. There is a small restaurant that serves buffalo burgers, a beach area, lots of camp spots, restroom with showers and the views are spectacular. There are hiking trails, but please be careful near the buffalo. Its very clean and perfect for RVs. The night sky is spectacular! Love this place!

What can I say about this place. Visiting friends in Ogden from the UK we decided to go up on one of our last days. We only stayed an hour or two as it was a last minute decision. We went up and watched the sunset in mid November and it was absolutely stunning.One of the only places I think Ive experienced absolute silence.We also saw one of the buffalo from a distance. Rather glad it was from a distance too he was huge!If I ever get back to that part of the world I will definitely be visiting again!

This is a great place for birds, wildlife, and scenery. You might want to skip the hot days of summer when the no-seeums are out. If you want to visit in the summer, go on a rainy or very windy day. The no-seeums arent so bad then. The island is extra beautiful in the winter with snow.

Beautiful park, it does kinda smell from the salt lake but that is expected. There are also tons and tons of bugs, which shouldnt be surprising since.. ya know.. nature. All around totally worth the visit!

Fun place to take the family for for doors time. See the animals and go on some good hikes.

This is a tourist must see. Antelope, elk, buffalo roaming around the gorgeous island. Beautiful photography opportunities as well as hiking, biking, horseback and floating in the salt lake.

This park is beautiful! Very peaceful. We were able to see hundreds of bison! It is really cool to be able to hear them and especially impressive when they are running around. We were concerned about the warnings that the salt lakes would smell really bad but I guess when we went it wasnt bad. Maybe the wind helped (it was really windy!) We also didnt have issues with flies. If we would have been longer we would have done some of the trails. Overall a great experience!

Absolutely splendid campground. It was windy and rainy practically the whole time we camped, but the beautiful scenery made up for it. We had bison walk right by our tent! I definitely want to come back when it’s a little warmer so I can explore more. So many amazing memories made here.

Antelope Island State Park was pretty interesting, as it was my first time going here(and most likely the last time) it was a good trip. I learned that it is an incredibly hot and muggy place to hike which made me rather miserable. The non brine flies apparently wanted to hangout with me the entire which I was not consenting to at all. But honestly all in all it could of been worse??

Great trails for mountain biking, plenty of wildlife to observe. The bugs get bad at times but fall and spring before they hatch are amazing!

Personally the most beautiful place I have ever been to. The trails are great and there is so much wildlife surrounding you. At certain points it feels as though its just you and mother nature. A must go if youre in the area. You must own a car to come in here or you will be stuck here when the park closes.

A blast to run on the beach barefoot and swim! Just kick the rocky salty sand off your feet each step. I brought a live butter lettuce to munch on the dry heat. Almost swam across from shore to a strip but I forgot goggles. Great mud for the skin on the shallow waters. The salty shrimp smell aint so bad when you know what it is. I wasnt the only beach body there so expect eye catching beautiful people Just wish the gift shop was open but yknow, COVID...

Good place with some easy hiking trails and some great game animals to see.

Remembering that this is in our back yard is half the battle. We all think about the lake stink when we think about Antelope Island. You only really smell it along the shoreline while driving the causeway. Once on the island, you don’t have nearly as much of the odor.Everyone should make it a point to visit. So much of Utah’s history is based around the lake. The island shows geological history as well as our pioneer history. It tells of birds, animals and ecology.Take a drive out to the island to see Antelope, Bison, and a variety of waterfowl.My most recent visit took about 1.5 hours of the afternoon and included a walk in he salt water and a drive to an overlook. Plan on taking the better part of a day to visit the Fielding Garr Ranch, visitors center and grab a bite to eat at the Bison Grill. Take some water or snacks!Hike a trail, bike a trail or the road, or just drive the island. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Really nice state park. Quite large with some cool features like wild bison, the great salt lake and a miles of hiking/hiking trails. My family did this as a side trip on a long road trip, staying at the campground for the night. Definitely recommended.

Beautiful area, panoramic views via the fray peak trail. About 3.2 miles up and back. Saw a good amount of buffalo and some mule deer. If you want to avoid the midge biting flies go when theres been 80+ degrees heat 3 days in a row. Otherwise bring bug netting or bug lotion... They will drive you mad.

Amazing for bikes and horses. Beautiful location when the flies arent out.Fun to see bison and antelope. Wish the beach was closer to the parking lot.

Amazing beautiful space an hour out of Salt lake. Make the trip if you have the time. Saw lots of wildlife and buffalo too

Buy the face masks for midges and douse yourself in bug spray if you want to go to the summit. It is a challenging hike, but worth it with a sign in book to memorialize your effort. We are in moderate shape and experienced hikers and it took us 2.5 hours to summit. The last bit after the radio tower is very tough. We ran into a. Buffalo on the trail on the way down . The. Is a restaurant 8n the park, but we didnt have time to try it.

Cool to see bisons roaming around by the lake. The salt lake smells pretty bad though. Cool visitor center but a lot of driving around

The lake was so calm the day we went! Would love to go back and spend some more time there and find more Buffalo. Largest heard outside of Yellowstone National Park! $10 to enter the park was more than I thought a state park should be but it was worth it to see some Bison. Definitely work exploring if you have the time to do so on your trip!

This place is very cool.Pros: you can float in Salt lake, Amazing experience. There are a couple of cool trails that I didnt have enough time to do. There are buffalo!Cons: the biggest red flag is the abundance (and when I say abundance I mean like, millions) of either dead gnats/flies on the beach. Or alive flies buzzing around you.The other problem is that the beach hurts your feet. Its literally just rock.

Wildlife experience right at your hands. Beautiful location just outside of the city in the Great Salt Lake.

Great opportunities to see bison. Not over crowded and didnt take long to completely travel through. Clean park and facilities.

Must visit place for bison watching. Beware of salt flies and dont venture out in the plains. Only go for a hike on the higher elevation. Pretty secluded place and gives a panoramic view of the Salt lake. They do charge $10 and don’t accept the national parks card. Sunset is the best time to click panoramic pics with great ambience.

We went out to look at the stars. After trying to photograph the Milky Way in other areas around the Wasatch Front and back, I decided to search for nearby certified dark sky areas. I had no idea there was one so close just on the other side of Antelope Island. The sky was amazing and there was a beautiful view of the Milky Way. I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys stargazing or astrophotography.

Great place to get away and hike on a cool Spring day in June, away from the bugs of warmer weather. Incredible views of the Wasatch front, with nare another soul on the trail. Enjoy!

This is a beautiful place to come visit. We got to see the herd run together which was cool and random lone Buffalo throughout the park.

I have been coming here since I was a kid and there is always something new to look at. I have hiked/biked most of the trails on the island and highly recommend them. There are gorgeous views around the island and trails that will take you high up. Camping in one of there two campground and wake up to looking out and seeing the wildlife. Exactly the sunsets here are breathtaking.

This place is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The landscape is exactly as it should be! Theres beaches, hills to climb, and wild life to observe at a distance! One of the most interesting things about this place is the rocks. A lot of them are in the classic heart shape and some of the bigger rocks have rings of different colors. The only draw back is that sometimes it does smell of sulfur cause it is connected to the great salt lake. And its got some of the funkiest spiders Ive ever seen. So if you want an adventure full of surprises and interesting finds Id go here!

Beautiful, unspoiled, and lots of bison. Lots of great hiking trails, picnic tables, a bathroom, beach access, a nice clean well stocked gift shop, and a concession stand .

Fantastic state park for seeing wildlife. If youre really serious and committed to seeing wildlife, be there when the gates open at 6 am or stay the night before to get an earlier start. Just be sure to bring ALOT of bug spray. Nats laugh at 30 deet. Bring 50-100 or pay the price with getting eaten.

Antelope Island is a great escape from the city and especially being a rather short drive from Salt Lake. It’s a nostalgic reminder of what Utah was hundreds of years ago and a great history lesson on The Great Salt Lake and it’s rich impact on the Salt Lake Valley.

Beautiful natural place to visit. The Great Salt Lake has a few options in which you can explore and Antelope Island is a great option. There is a fee for entry but is not a lot of money. The drive across the land bridge to the island is great. When the water is low you can see lots of salt flats before heading past the lake. The visitor center has great information and the drives offer wonderful views. I highly recommend. Bring a snack and a full tank of gas. There is a grill on the island and they sell water in the gift shop. Spend a few hours on the island and explore. You can also hike (permit may be necessary). Take in the bison or antelope that live on the island. I highly recommend this destination. A little break from the insanity of the city with gorgeous views.

I always enjoy time spent on antelope island. There are spectacular locations to view the sunrise and sunset. If you are fortunate you can see bison up close to the road. There are birds everywhere. Also I have seen antelope, coyote, deer and many smaller animals. The staff have been friendly and knowledgeable whenever I have spoken with them

Nice place. Lots of bison, lots of gnats, lots of spiders. Maybe youre into that sort of thing?

I love Antelope Island this time of year. Bugs are mostly gone, temperatures are moderate, and crowds are less. Mornings are magical and evenings are spectacular.

It was a very windy place. It is the last week of May so instead of cool weather, it was very hot but dry heat. There were no bugs to bother us unlike others who complained about it. We stopped at Buffalo cafe and did eat Buffalo burger. Found to be very tasty. But one downside is there are no places to sit down and eat. Indoor sit down dinner room is closed and whats worse is the outdoor dinner tables are off limits too. Thats dumb. We had to eat in our car. Salt air has a odd smell but you got used to it. Overall it was not bad at all. You will pay 15 bucks to get in.

For a $10 entry fee you and your car load are free to roam. It is a beautiful island. The Sandy beaches are like walking on butter. The buffalo are too cool to miss. Lots of hiking and biking trails too. There are little historical signs all over and worth the read. The visitor center has a nice gift shop, clean bathrooms and a great exhibit on the Salt Lake.

Fun place to visit anytime of the year. Be aware of the bugs depending on the time of the year. The wildlife and the lake are the reasons we visit each year.

Nice, wide-open-spaces park. Bison roam free and may cross the road right in front of you. Let them. Very scenic. Lots of hiking and camping. You can visit a working ranch.

Beyond peaceful, perfect place to get away when you dont want to go away

Been in Utah a while and never fully explored the island. Ive been missing out! The ranches were nifty historic sites. Soooo many buffalo. Facilities were clean and there were plenty of picnic spots. Go on a windy day though. Flies like the lake.

So beautiful. Drive until you find the hard of buffalo. Breathtaking! And be sure to walk out and put your feet in the great salt lake!!

Its a well-maintained park. The views are gorgeous. Weve been here twice and havent seen an abundance of wildlife, but that could be a seasonal issue. I think its worth the $10 entry fee.

I am only reviewing the “beach access” as we were only there for a short time. My kids really enjoyed taking a nice dip in the water and skipping rocks. It is a long walk from the parking area. If you have small children be sure they wear comfortable shoes with socks. Be prepared. The sand is HOT and littered with what can only be described as “drive-way” rocks. The rocks can be very sharp. Step where others have stepped to avoid sinking and walk where sand looks crusty because it will be hard and you won’t sink as badly. The “beach” is the simplest form of a beach because it is where sand meets water. There are a lot of flies. Anything that doesn’t move will be covered in a matter of seconds. Do not plan on a picnic. Take drinking water, of course. The flies continuously swarm at the edge of the water and will move out of your way. The water does smell bad but that smell goes away shortly as you get used to it. Some of the flies do bite. Just keep moving around. Remember anything that stops moving becomes a landing ground for a swarm of flies.

Was awesome to see buffalo and antelope here . they have awesome trails to hike also very good place to spens the day with family or friends.

A beautiful place to be every season except summer! I love mountain biking here. Its peaceful, serene, and nature is abundant. Highly recommend biking and hiking here.

Beautiful and very unique. Definitely worth saving for a sunny day - the expensive views are a big highlight.Great place for birding - bring your binoculars!! And other wildlife too, bison, deer, pronghorn....You can swim in the lake if the weather is nice. There are showers and bathrooms and a beach.Visitor center is worth checking out, they have some great info.
