Wow! Accessible only by a ferryboat, this is an island completely surrounded by Lake Huron and Potagannissing Bay. ATVs, motorcycles, cars, trucks and even RVs are allowed on the ferryboat that leaves the mainland every hour to make the 10 minute crossing.

The park is open daily between the months of May-Mid November from 9am-6pm. The trails here consist of rocky ridge sections, water crossings, tight and narrow woods single track.

Although the park is open between May and November, the driest months are July and August. The island has everything; restaurants, campgrounds, boat docks and RV hookups, and great trails.
