The population of Davis County is upwards of 300,000. Hill Air Force Base is a major employer in the area, while many residents commute to Salt Lake County or other areas for work. Although residents work in other areas, they don’t have to venture far for prime outdoor opportunities. The geography of Davis County and the lake effect weather of the Great Salt Lake guarantee a high average yearly snowfall in the valley and the mountains. In summer, temperatures are high but the climate is dry. There are nearby lakes and at least one major water park for cooling off.

Antelope Island State Park is a must see attraction in Davis County. 500 bison roam the island, which is the biggest of the Great Salt Lake. Pronghorn and bighorn sheep also share the habitat.

There is a vehicle entrance fee and a small fee for pedestrians and cyclists. Campsites are located nearby.

The two major ski resorts serving the area are Snowbasin and Powder Mountain. Snowbasin was the site of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games Downhill and Super G events. The luxury resort provides 3,000 skiable acres and 3,000 vertical feet. Powder Mountain boasts the most skiable acres of terrain in the United States—at 7,000 acres. The resort is popular for both its groomed trails and untracked powder runs, with access to backcountry terrain via snowcat and helicopter. Davis County is also a short drive from numerous other major ski resorts just south of the county.

Lagoon Amusement Park is one of the primary family destinations along the Wasatch Front. It offers a wide range of rides such as extreme thrill roller coasters, children’s rides, a water park, games and shows, and seasonal theme attractions such as Frightmares! during Halloween.
