To the north lies a small basin called One Mile Bay. Not so long ago, One Mile Bay was connected to Four Mile Bay, and waters flowed East around a large island that has now become a Peninsula. Four Mile Bay is a very special basin. Historically native lake trout used to spawn here. Deteriorating water quality and overfishing are threatening the lake trout in this basin with extinction.
Camp Island is at the far eastern end.
This island is very important for a number of reasons. The sand beach on its southeast side was a camping area for First Nation people for thousands of years, and artifacts still routinely wash out of the sand. Today the same beach is a focal point of summer activity for local residents.
