Antelope Island State Park is a park on the largest island in the Great Salt Lake, and it makes a good day out for anyone who enjoys wildlife and open country. The listing places it in Siracusa, Italy, Sicily, but the address given is in Syracuse, Utah, and the telephone number carries a US area code, so visitors should confirm the location before setting out.
What to expect
The island is home to free-roaming bison herds, which are the main draw for many visitors. Watching them graze across the grassland gives the visit its character. The park also offers hiking trails for those who want to explore on foot, and beaches along the lake shore for a slower pace.
Wildlife viewing is a natural focus here, and the open landscape means you can see animals from a distance. Keep a respectful space between yourself and the bison, as these are wild animals.
