My question is: is this a private area (noticed swim floats at one of the beaches)?
If not private, is there a trick to getting close to the beaches without damage?

The island is owned by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust and is open to the public. You cannot however "beach" your boat anywhere on the island. They have docks at the southern end you can use to access the island and the walking trails. You can anchor off the island and the western side is best but as you say it is quite ROCKY! Ragged is a beautiful preserved island and before owning on the lake, I spent many afternoons there!!
