Antelope Island State Park, the largest island in the Great Salt Lake, is home to a roaming herd of 600 bison. Pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep also share the rangelands that overlook the desert lake. Opportunities to view wildlife are available on backcountry trails, which are open to horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking and cross-country skiing. A modern visitor center offers information on the island’s unique biology, geology and history.
