This is a great park where you possibly see Prong Horn Antelope, coyote, deer and buffalo. And I imagine other animals. I will tell you the ride into the park can be smelly from the great salt lake. … Full review by Connie E

Haha. I TOOK that road. The one that is not the causeway. I’ll save you the trouble. It doesn’t get you to the island. After leaving civilization behind (in the form of a warehouse district, we bumped along paved roads that became dirt roads that eventually ended at a locked farmer’s gate to a field. We were in hysterics laughing by this time. Again, make sure you take THE correct road on the north end of the island. That road is worth the trip.

Q:
I have always wanted to go to the Great Salt Lake. However, is it possible for one to swim in the Great Salt Lake in the middle of June via the normal water temperature and the normal air temperature? Is it clean enough for one to swim, and does one actually float in the Great Salt Lake? How much time would you recommend for one to spend at Antelope Island State Park? Thanks!

A:
It is possible to swim in the Great Salt Lake & yes you will float. However, I would NOT recommend going into the water. It stinks & the flies are terrible. At the beach at the state park, you will have to walk at least 100 yards thru mud to even get to the water & then you will probably have to walk another 100 yards or more until the water is deep enough to sit in & float. If you do decide to go in, make sure you shower good as soon as you get out. There are other things to see at the park, so I would allow 1-3 hours depending on what you want to see.
