Preserved Properties & Conservation Agreements
Ken Yen Island
Ken Yen Island is a private island with a cottage located on Newboro Lake . This delightful retreat is reminiscent of the early style of cottages that were built on the Rideau. It is located in a natural area of the lake where the donor spent many hours canoeing the bays and wetlands and developing a deep appreciation for its natural beauty.
The donor made the decision to donate the cottage and island with the understanding that it be sold and that the proceeds be used to preserve natural areas so that future generations could enjoy them as their family has.
The Rideau Waterway Land Trust sold this property in July of 2003 and as part of the condition to sell now holds a conservation agreement on the property with the new owners. The Land Trust monitors the property regularly as per our agreement.
