Halsey Island, private, no ferry service. Lakefront houses with some sandy beaches surround a wooded interior.
This island has a ring of development around some to all of the shorline. The interior is probably solid forest and might be uncut. However, I read that all of its hemlocks were recently killed by Hemlock Wooly Adelgids. Yet, as the accompanying photo seemed to indicate a roughly 60% hardwood component, there may still be many large old living trees left. I read that the hemlocks had been up to around 300 hundred years old and over 100' tall.
