This lovely small artificial island within the lake, formerly known as Swan Island, was initially built as a bird sanctuary, a home for swans gifted from Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1936. The program ended in 1983, and the island remains an official reserve. It is a great place to see a hawk, eagle or osprey hunting for fish.
