A friend and I stopped here for an afternoon on our way across country. The only thing we did not like was the bugs. As others have stated they can be quite thick! My friend got to see her first Buffalo which was on her wish list but she would have liked to have seen them up close rather than... More

We prefer natural attractions so after our fantastic visit to the Choir at 930am we found out about this place from the SLC visitors centre. It is about 50 miles out of town on I 15 north but fine with a gps on the car. $9 fee for car access and the drive across the 7 mile causeway is interesting... More

I can't say much more that isn't covered well by SLC_Guide's review. We too encountered the nasty no-see-ums that bite. After our first venture out of the car and the ensuing swarm of hungry gnats, we retreated to the car and remained there for the remainder of the tour. I would like to tour here in the various seasons...I'll bet... More

I visited the island multiple times in March and early April. As always, I saw plenty of bison, as well as antelope, deer, coyote, jack rabbits, and songbirds. Most recently, I visited a few days ago and found the island was overrun by biting gnats called No-see-ums. They're like miniature mosquitoes, with 10X the rage. They attack you with fury... More

I loved the island. There a few places where the sounds of nature dominate the senses. We camped so we could enjoy the evening song as well as the morning song. We are both scratching a bit after an attack by some no-see-ems. Some mosquito spray is reccommended. We appreciated the coin showers at the day area.

Upon arriving at the visitors center, four miles off the coast of Syracuse, we stepped into the freezing cold wind and immediately noticed two antelopes right off the side of the round. Unfortunately, though, we could not get within 30 feet of any bison. The park has a set of rules about not getting too close to bison, so none... More

The island has a fascinating history, but also a completely different view of Salt Lake. Worth the few $ to travel the causeway and spend the day, see buffalo, deer, antelope, and other wildlife. The visitor's center is educational and the ranch tour is like taking a step back in time - a hundred years or so! Campground, horseback riding,... More

This is one of our favorite places to visit. It's a beautiful drive, as well as a great place for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and just enjoying the outdoors. This is an excellent way to see the Great Salt Lake and so much more. We've been about half a dozen times in the last year. My favorite time to visit... More
