Wilson Island can be seen from the lookout point at Cranberry Flats. The island was the site of a sea cadet training camp from 1943 to 1951. Back then, cadets were transported to what was known as Shepley Island, by a current-driven scow. While on the island for two weeks of training, cadets were involved in many activities including swimming and rowing.

An interpretive panel was erected in 1994 by the Meewasin Valley Authority.
