I wonder when is was last logged off or even if it ever was. Its' name suggests that maybe it was used as a source for lumber. Looking at it from the water it looks like an untouched, forested island that has yet to discovered, just trees, trees, & more trees.

I was wondering why the State didn't jump at the chance to buy this beautifull 135 acre untouched island when it had the chance recently. Supposedly, the Whittemore State Park on Newfound Lake and the Ellecoya State Park on Winnipesaukee in Gilford were gifted to the State of New Hampshire. Seems likely, probably the State was broke back in the 1930's and couldn't scrape up any money for a big piece of waterfront land.
