BLODGETT ANTELOPE ISLAND The proposed access road to Antelope Island from the south will not hamper but enhance the development of the island as a state tourist attraction. THIS IS the feeling of the Utah Parks and Recreation Division as they make final plans to build a southern access road to the island from Interstate Highway 80 west of Salt Lake City International Airport. Kay Boulter, public affairs director for the Division of Parks and Recreation, said the proposed road would connect with at about 8800 West where the access road is being used to haul gravel from the island to the interstate highway. HE EMPHASIZICED, however, that a couple of alternative routes for the southern access road are being proposed but that all would eventually be connected to the island as a belt route from the wouth end of the island to connect with the 2,000 acre state park on the north tip of the island. At any rate, the proposed road will enhance the development of the island as a tourist attraction, said the public affairs director. It would serve as a loop road and probably would be constructed on the east side of the island. CONSTRUCTION of the road expected to begin later this spring will be funded from an $800,000 appropriation recently approved by the Utah State Legislature. It is proposed to bypass the farmhouse located century-olnear the center of the island, but would not intrude into the desolate part of the island where the wildlife habitat presently exists, it was explained. d WHEN COMPLETED, road would connect with Syracuse causeway on north end of the island the the the and ternational understanding north through Davis County to connect with Interstate Highway 15 to the north and east. State park and recreation officials agreed that the new island access could detain tourists in the area for an extra day, thus providing additional tourism revenue for the state. It also could entice tourists to remain in the area to visit other tourist attractions in both northern and southern Utah. PARK AND recreation officials also stress that although the proposed road would not intrude on wildlife habitat, it would provide vehicular traffic to the islands several trail heads and bridal paths, beaches, camp sites, picnic areas, etc. Vehicular traffic would be restricted to the road in order to protect the interior of the island. The islands main road, however, would be used as a loop road to serve the major attractions of the island. Smaller roads would be expanded to serve the specific beach, camping, picnic and other areas. through a family living experience. extensive grazing of cattle. PRESENTLY, there are about 50 deer and more than 200 buffalo roaming the island. 1 THERE WOULD be two large marinas on the island, one on the south end, at Black Rock, and the large marina completed a couple of years ago on the north end of the island. Beaches at various sites around the west side of the island would relieve crowding at the north end of the island, it was explained. The only commercial development planned for the island at the present time would be a visitors center at the state park in the north end and a proposed village on the south end. ALTHOUGH there large development is no of res- taurants, lodging facilities, on the island, etc., commercial developments are expected soon adjacent to the island. The state purchased the 25,000 acre island for $4.7 million from a private corporation which had used the island for However, several antelope placed on the island several years ago have either been killed or just walked off the island when the water was low. When tourist facilities are completed over a long period of time they would include restoration of the old Pioneer Home as a museum, a visitors center, boating, camping, hiking trails, bicycling routes, improved beach facilities, nature trails, easily sightseeing points, and many other attractions. A DUDE ranch development at the pioneer homestead is also proposed. The ranch house may also be made available for a limited number of tourists for overnight lodging. Commercial enterprises such as a paddle boat for excursions to nearby islands are also being considered but have not yet been approved. g, Business Women Honoree Maria Day, a special education teacher in Ogden, Utah, has been named a Young Career Woman (YCW) by the Lakeview Business and Professional Women's Club of Clearfield.
