In the 1950s teenagers from the Old Mission area began hauling junk out onto the ice. Their hope was that, eventually, they would accumulate enough "junk" to make a small island on which they could play. Every spring the ice melted and the island grew. This lasted a few years before a violent winter scattered the junk and the island was never rebuilt. There are several small boats, a refrigerator, and even a Ford Pinto in the area. This site can be enjoyed by snorkelers and divers alike. The average depth is 20' or so.

And I hope they drained the fuel and oil out of the pinto before sending it down! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
