Lady Finger Point is the northern most tip of Antelope Island. It is a great short trail with some fun rock scrambling that offers great views of Bridger Bay and Egg Island. You will likely see lots of birds on this trail, most likely seagulls.
View from the end of the trail.
Quick Details:
Length: 1/4 mile one way
Difficulty: DR3 There is some boulder scrambling but it isn’t too bad.
Elevation Gain: Eh about 10 feet.
Restroom: There is a pit toilette in the parking lot.
Dogs? Yes! Please clean up after your furry friends.
To get here drive to the north end of the island. It is between the visitor center and the marina.

Bridger Bay.
The rock mound you have to scramble over.
Egg Island. With the low lake levels it looks like you could walk out to it… if it wasn’t a closed area for protection.
I can’t believe I captured it, I think the setting sun helped. Those are not leaves, those are some kind of bug, I feared mosquito or biting gnat. This trail they were everywhere and I thought we had made a grave mistake. However no bites. So, I guess they weren’t biters.
Cropped in closer they look bizarre.
Rock formation.
The sun reflecting off the lake, and I see I caught a few more of the bugs.

Closed for sensitive bird nesting area.
I believe this is Freemont Island.
More lake foam.
Seagulls and moon.
Scrambling over the boulders again.
With the moon.
I found a little alcove to climb up and found more bugs eep.
Great view up here though.
Nearing the trailhead.
Bridger Bay.
Bunny!
Another bunny!
There are 2 bunnies pictured here, can you spot em both? Hint, the upper one jumped right when I took the picture so you can only see the back legs.
Bridger Bay.
All in all it’s a great short hike that includes some boulder scrambling and some great views across the lake. It doesn’t take very long so it is definitely worth a quick stop to check it out. Going with 9 out of 10 squirrels.
As for difficulty, even with the short boulder scrambling its a super easy trail. DR3.
Dogs are allowed. Please clean up after your furry friend.
