Antelope Island is the largest island in the Great Salt Lake in the U.S. state of Utah, located about 40 miles northwest of Salt Lake City. The long, narrow island is approximately 15 miles long, covers more than 28,000 acres, and is connected to the mainland by a seven-mile road known as the Antelope Island Causeway. The island takes its name from the population of pronghorn antelope found there by early explorers.
Antelope Island is known for its spectacular scenery and unique ecosystem. The island boasts the highest point in the Great Salt Lake, Cape Dalton, which rises to an elevation of 6,647 feet above sea level and offers a panoramic view of the entire lake. Due to the high salinity of the Great Salt Lake, the island's perimeter creates an exceptional habitat that attracts millions of migratory birds, including pelicans, herons and gulls. The eastern portion of the island also houses a bison preserve that protects approximately 700 American bison.
As part of the Utah State Parks system, Antelope Island offers a wealth of outdoor activities. Visitors can camp, hike, birdwatch and ride around the island, which is especially famous for watching sunrises and sunsets over the Great Salt Lake. The island's visitor center showcases the geological and ecological history of the area, while the famous "White Oyster Beds" sandy beaches feature a unique white landscape of fossilized oysters rich in calcium carbonate.
