Weekend Horseback Riding Getaway: Park City Edition

Antelope Island State Park is one of Utah's most unique natural treasures, and it makes for an unforgettable day trip from your Eden vacation rental. This rugged island in the Great Salt Lake is home to free-roaming bison, pronghorn antelope, and some of the most otherworldly landscapes in the state.

Exploring Antelope Island

The island is accessed via a seven-mile causeway that crosses the Great Salt Lake, offering surreal views of water, sky, and distant mountain ranges. Once on the island, visitors can hike trails that wind through sagebrush-covered hills with panoramic views of the lake and surrounding Wasatch Mountains. The Fielding Garr Ranch, built in 1848, provides a fascinating look at early pioneer life. Wildlife viewing is exceptional, with a herd of over seven hundred bison roaming the island freely.

A Unique Utah Experience

Floating in the ultra-salty waters of the Great Salt Lake at the island's beaches is a bucket-list experience that surprises many visitors with its buoyancy. After your island adventure, drive back through the golden evening light to your cozy Eden vacation rental. Antelope Island adds a dimension to your Utah vacation that you simply cannot find anywhere else. Explore Eden properties at LoveYourVacationRental.com.
