Secluded Island in the heart of Niagara
Lincoln, Ontario
Canoe
About a 1/2hr paddle into the "creek" you will come across a beautiful, deserted, and secluded island which has a great beach on the south (windward) side and is great to eat lunch at, and relax. Be sure to Leave No Trace here as it is a small island and will get overused very quickly.
