The Wasatch Range, which towers above the metropolitan valley across the lake, is your constant companion and reflects off the lake's surface. The route roughly parallels the paved East Side Road, crossing it twice, and ends at the historic Fielding Garr Ranch south of Seagull Point. Built in 1948, the sun-dried adobe ranch was inhabited until 1981 when Antelope Island became a state park. This is a good route to view wildlife on shore, including bison, pronghorn antelope, and bighorn sheep and an array of waterfowl flocking to the lake's mudflat shore. All users must remain on designated trails.
Trails are open to non-motorized use only.
Campfires are not allowed on backcountry trails. Do not disturb plants, wildlife, soil, or minerals. Pets must be on a leash at all times in the park. Pack out all trash. Backcountry trails are closed the last week of October for the annual bison roundup.
