Antelope Island State Park ~ Utah

Antelope Island State Park has one of the largest free roaming herds of American bison in North America. The herd consists of over 700 bison.


The Great Salt Lake average depth is only 7 feet deep. Walking on the salt flats reminded me of "low tide".


Ducks!...Hundreds of thousands of ducks! A park ranger told me that at any one time there are over 300,000(!) ducks feeding on brine shrimp and brine flys around the island. I've never seen so many ducks in my life. No fish live in The Great Salt Lake.

Antelope Island State Park is located in The Great Salt Lake of Utah. The park consists of 28,800 acres of rocky dry land. It's highest elevation is 5308 feet and the park was dedicated in 1969.
