Jack's Island

Late in 1999, the Brown family donated a second island to the Rideau Waterway Land Trust. This one-acre island is located in White's Bay in Whitefish Lake . The island is well wooded and has been used as a resting spot for day-trippers for many generations. The Brown family donated it in memory of their father, Jack Brown, who vacationed on Whitefish Lake for many years. This island is typical of many of the natural areas along the Rideau Waterway.

It is the Brown Family's wish that visitors of the waterway enjoy the island in its natural state just as their father did.

The Land Trust has accepted the responsibility for the care of this island and the management plan calls for the island to be monitored. All we ask is that everyone enjoys it and treats it with respect.
