Great Salt Lake
Antelope Island is surrounded by the Great Salt Lake. The lake is extremely salty, with salt levels reaching as much as 25% of the lake, by volume, so Great Salt Lake does not support fish, but does support large numbers of Brine Shrimp which provide food for visiting waterfowl. Because of the high salinity, the island is mostly without readily available fresh water.
