Private Island?
This could be a great vacation spot. To me, the title "private island" is a little misleading--yes, it is private in that there are no public or commercial access/facilities. But there are almost 60 camps on the island, all on the shorefront. Behind them is the power line right of way, which is heavily used as a walking trail. Cross paths are the Bear's trail and Helen's Way. The interior of the island is owned by a small number of people and is mostly wooded and open for exploring. Most years, there are deer on the island, occasional, but rare, years, there are bear or moose.
Prevailing winds are from the NW, so this location is protected by the Forty Islands. Going to/from Glendale, you will be crossing the winds for a short distance. If you drive around the island, there is a NWZ in the cove on the north side. On the south side, there is a black marker (FL76) that is waaay out from land. You'll look and look and think it is missing. Nope. It's there, just way out. Being centrally located, it should be easy to go to a different place for ice cream every day. Good luck
