About Antelope Island State Park Marina
The marina at Antelope Island State Park is used to launch various craft on to the Great Salt Lake. Most use is by the state as well as sailors launching private sail boats. The marina has also been used by a minority of "hunters" who have taken to the practice of stalking birding listservs to attempt to hunt the rare ocean species of waterfowl that overwinter here in small numbers. Due to the drying up of the lake, the marina sees far less usage than in former years. The small marina has jetties/breakwalls on the north and west sides, while the causeway provides the break to the east. To the south is the island with a decent amount of shrub-steppe habitat in direct view of the marina. The north jetty can be walked while you can drive the west jetty via the south side of the parking lot at the marina. Just follow the dirt road as it loops to the west. The habitat at the marina is shrub-steppe as well as disturbed land, with a beach on the north side of the north jetty facing out. Mud flats inside the jetties, and on the outside provide additional shorebird habitat. The open water of the Great Salt Lake to the north and the west is the primary habitat at this location.
