Concrete breakwater protects the grassy area where herring gulls nest.
An abandoned lighthouse structure is located on the island. Cormorants have recently returned to nest on the island which, historically supported one of the largest nesting colonies on Lake Ontario. Research on the nesting ecology of Herring gulls was carried out at this NWA for many years. No facilities present. Public access is prohibited from March 15 to July 31 in order to protect nesting birds.
