About 0.7 mile up the trail, at the top of the ridge, the Frary Peak and Dooly Knob Trails split.  The path is a bit less clear here than in most places, and we found that the sign at this point for Dooley Knob had been knocked over. Still, it wasn't difficult to find the right path heading north away from Frary Peak.

From the split, it is only another 0.4 mile to the end.

We were surprised how low the water level was there; it hasn't been that low during past trips we have made to the island.

Dogs, horses, and bicycles are not permitted on the Frary Peak Trail. Also, be aware that the trailhead closes at 6:00 p.m. There are no restrooms at the trailhead, but there is a map.

Directions
This trail is located on Antelope Island in Davis County, UT. Traveling along the I-15 in Davis County, Utah, take exit 332 for Antelope Drive. Turn west onto Antelope Drive and continue straight until you reach the park entrance. There is a $10.00 entrance fee to access the park. After driving over the causeway and onto the island, keep to the left and keep going straight heading heading southward. The road will roughly follow the east shoreline of the island. Eventually, a road will turn off to the right that leads to the Frary Peak Trailhead. This is easy to find; the turn off is well marked and road directions on the island are easy to follow to this point. Continue up this road past a parking lot (for the Mountain View Trail), through a gate, and up to another large dirt parking lot. The trail starts at the end of the lot.
