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.

The water is not deep, so it's great with small children. The last part to get there requires a bit of climbing. What child doesn't like that...

This waterfall is located on a short spur trail off of the main Davis Creek Trail. This is a cool feature to add onto a longer run up to Bountiful Peak since there are so many paths intersecting around here that lead to the top of that mountain.

The Upper Falls at the end of Adam's Canyon Trail is just over 40 feet high (over double the height of the lower falls). The trail to the falls is a steady uphill grade pretty much the entire time. The majority of the trail is fairly smooth, though, so it's a fun, fast downhill.

The Lower Falls in Adam's Canyon is a 15-foot cascade off a small cliff on a branch of Holmes Creek. There is also an Upper Falls that is much less popular since it's further from the trailhead. There is a pool at the base of the falls that you can walk to during the warmer months.

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.
