Antelope Island, Lakeside Trail

Lakeside Trail is accessed from the White Rock Bay parking area.  Riding on the island is almost like a step back in time.  It often has a truly wild feel.  There are always wild life sightings.  We have seen coyotes, bison, deer, antelope.  Riding is limited to certain trails unless you are on the annual bison round-up.  The best times to ride the island are October, November, March and early April.  During the summer, the insects are unbearable.  Winter riding is great if there is very little or no snow.  We have ridden there in January.
There is an entrance fee. Half price for seniors 62+
There are some campground spots for horses at White Rock Bay.
