The Fielding Garr Ranch is a historic landmark. The first permanent structure on this site was a small log cabin built by Fielding Garr in 1848. Within two years, Garr expanded the ranch grounds to include the adobe house and other outbuildings. From then until 1981, the ranch was continuously occupied. The ranch continued operations uninterrupted under various owners. Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, the ranch focused on sheep ranching. Under the leadership of John Dooly Jr., the sheep operation grew to over 10,000 sheep and developed into one of the largest and most industrialized cattle ranches in the Western United States. When sheep ranching became unprofitable in the 1950s due to the weakening wool market, the focus shifted back to cattle ranching. The island ranch remained part of one of the state's largest commercial cattle ranches until the island was declared a state park in 1981.

As you make your way south within the park, you'll see fewer and fewer visitors. The South Island Trail offers some of that solitude as it makes its way to South Point at the very bottom of the island. This viewpoint looks out over the water towards Salt Lake City.

If you want to add a short trail to your road run that offers a pretty sweet overlook of the Great Salt Lake, then look no further than the first trail you'll pass after getting to Antelope Island. The trailhead is only about a quarter-mile from the visitor's center, making this a great trail for a shakeout if you've been in the car for a while and just want to do something short as soon as you get to the park.

Buffalo Point is one of the most popular overlooks in the entire park since the hike from the car can be cut down to about a mile roundtrip. If you decide to run off (or up) the north side, though, you'll likely get the trail to yourself. The views from this panoramic overlook are usually filling with towering mountains, the Great Salt Lake, and bison roaming the park.

Ladyfinger Point is a picturesque location on Antelope Island known for its striking views of the Great Salt Lake. Jutting out into the lake, this peninsula offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes, including the distant mountain ranges. The hike to Ladyfinger Point is very short and easy and is a good one for families.

The South Island Trail in the Antelope Island State Park offers a great hiking experience along the southern shore of the island. The trail provides stunning views of the Great Salt Lake and surrounding landscapes, and while hiking along the trail you might encounter wildlife, including bison and antelope.

Antelope Road runs north to south down Antelope Island. With Frary and Stringham Peaks to the west, Farmington Bay to the east, and the Wasatch Mountains beyond that, the views are stunning all along the way.

Easy way, just awesome Very nice hiking trails, sunrise and sunset is awesome
