Antelope Island is in the portion of the Basin and the Range Province known as the Great Basin. At Antelope Island the island is the range and the Great Salt Lake spreads across several basins.

The 3 mile Lake Side Trail leaves the Bridger Bay Campground and follows the beach around the group camping area on White Rock Bay.
MYTHS AND LEGENDS
There are tales of whirlpools in the lake opening subterranean channels that drained into the Pacific Ocean. One man said he was on a schooner in 1870 that was almost drawn into such a whirlpool between Fremont and Antelope islands.
History
Visitors to Antelope Island State Park drive across the causeway, a narrow two-lane road spanning from mainland to island, leaving the bustle of the Wasatch Front for a refuge of rangelands floating on a desert sea.
