Special Notes: Owned by Parks Canada and run via a private contract. This is the largest island in a set of islands collectively known as “Long Island”. It was formerly known as "Livingston Island" and may be marked that way on older charts. The flat roofed building on the Island is “Wag’s Lodge,” built by Danny Arnstein (co-owner of Yellow Cab in New York and Chicago) in 1949-50. The cottage features two massive “peanut rock” fireplaces and “driftwood plywood” walls. Of note the building is deteriorating and Parks Canada has restricted access in and around the buidling. |
Of Interest: Tennis Courts. Beach. |
Notes: Closest gas is 5 km south at Portland. There are no local services. Portland offers full services. |
