Please accept this place for what it is. It's conservation land that resembles what the entire area looked like 400 years ago. The bison among all the other wildlife are special. The views of the sur…Full review by L8533VTchrisb

There is no indication ATVs are allowed on the island. There was a 2017 proposal to consider it but they do not currently appear to be allowed according to the park website. No indications ATVs were active on the island when we were there either.

You canNOT swim in the lake at any time of the year. The amount of salt makes this lake unswimable. Only one type of fish even live in the lake. Plan on viewing the lake from Antelope Park. If you just want to drive around and see the beauty- plan 2 hours. If you want to do some hiking add an hour or 2. It is well worth a visit. I loved this park
