Frary Peak is the high point of Antelope Island in Great Salt Lake, inside Antelope Island State Park. State park material lists 6,597 feet, and the park's 2026 trail map gives the summit trail as 3.5 miles each way.

The Utah Geological Survey points to the trail as a place to see the Farmington Canyon Complex, metamorphic rock with zircons dated to about 2.4 billion years. State park rules exclude bicycles and horses from the Frary Peak trail, require dogs on a leash, and limit backcountry travel to the trails on the park map. State park history records George Frary on the island and Alice Frary's burial there in 1897.
