Hill Island is one of the largest of the Thousand Island Parks. The island shoreline is rugged and the wildlife enjoy a somewhat undisturbed existence with a range of fauna from water snakes to white tailed dear and most everything in-between.

To visit Hill Island there is but one point of egress which is Battermans Point, located on the northwest tip of the island, which is not labeled on most charts. The dockage here is shallow limited to 3 to 6 feet on the south side of the point near an old mansion. once the site of movie glory.

You will find the usual park facilities here with trash bins, toilets, BBQs and a picnic shelter. The Island offers a long walk for those interested in rambling to the west along a roadway leading to the bridge. At the bridge you can ride an elevator to the observation platform which has a reasonable restaurant, tourist information, and gifts shop. In some ways it is worth the walk or ride as this part of the islands gives the voyage by boat a different perspective.
