As its name implies, this park is an island, so a small boat (passengers only, no cars) will take you over to it. The boat docks next to an old boathouse, which sits in a big mowed field. It's a great spot for kids to play. We had a great time with flying kites and playing soccer!

On a rainy day, the boathouse is a great spot to explore the history and ecology of the island. We learned that the spot was used by liquor runners during the days of prohibition, which was of great interest to the little ones.

The deets: the simple campsites are nicely separated from each other. There are vault toilets and water is available at the boathouse. Highly recommend this trip, especially with kids!
