Work up an an appetite and grab something to eat at the
Island Buffalo Grill!
From March through Halloween, at Bridger Bay on the north end of the island, you can grab a buffalo burger, enjoy a buffalo bratwurst, or eat one of the other scrumptious offerings at the Island Buffalo Grill. Give them a call at

Wash off after you play!
Bridger Bay also has fresh-water showers so that you can rinse off after playing and floating in the largest body of salt water in the western hemisphere. You can camp in the area too.
Ride Horses
Mosey on down to Fielding Garr Ranch and hook up with the outfitter. There, you can ride the plains in search of bison and other island wildlife including pronghorn, coyote, rascally rabbits and other critters.
Bring your own horse, kayak or canoe to the marina - and paddle around the Great Salt Lake. Ride your bike across the causeway, or bring it in your car, and explore on your own once you get there. Whatever your mode of transportation, you will enjoy the island's wildlife as well as its picturesque view points.
Come join us for a day and we are sure that you will return!
