Summary
The August 2010 Beacon described Beaver Islanders’ July boat trips to Whiskey Island after the township acquired it. The visitors explored the shore, looked for traces of its former fishing communities, and connected the visit to the public debate over a possible DNR land swap.
Evidence limits
This is a newspaper travel and observation feature, not a formal archaeological survey, property record, or proof of every historical settlement claim.
