Antelope Island State Park

The Antelope Island State Park boat ramp provides access to the Great Salt Lake, one of the largest hypersaline lakes in the Western Hemisphere. Due to extremely low water levels, the main boat ramp is currently closed, and paddlers and boaters should expect a long walk from the parking lot to reach the shoreline, which may be muddy and potentially hazardous.

While the boat ramp is unavailable, the park still offers recreational opportunities for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat owners. The marina and nearby shoreline areas may provide alternative launching spots, though access may be limited. Visitors should use caution and be prepared for challenging conditions on the lake. The park also features hiking trails, a historic ranch, and the chance to view the iconic Antelope Island bison herd.

Paddlers and boaters are encouraged to check the park's current conditions page for the latest updates on the boat ramp and lake access before visiting. Exploring the Great Salt Lake can be a unique and rewarding experience, but understanding the current challenges is crucial for a safe and enjoyable outing.
