Located at the west end of Billys Lake before the River Narrows on the Brown Trail, this island is a great opportunity for less experienced paddlers and families with children to do an overnight in the swamp - only two miles from Stephen C. Foster State Park boat launch. You can spend the afternoon hiking around the island rich with history and cooking hotdogs over a campfire (fire ring provided on the island).
