History
In the late 1800s, a man named John Fox homesteaded the island and built a small house and storage sheds.[1] Fox was an immigrant from Germany, where he had made his living as a fisherman.Шаблон:Citation needed After his divorce from Katherine Fox Dickman,Шаблон:Citation needed he moved to the island where he lived as a fisherman and tilled a small garden spot, evidence of which still remains today. Fox's son, also named John Fox, died around 1960 after living alone on the island.[1] The elder Fox is buried on the island.Шаблон:Citation needed The Foxes dug several holes into the rock, evidently to be used as cisterns. There is a small spring, around which a concrete retainer was built that is still in place.[4] The water is unsafe to drink.[5]
The island became a state park in 1970 under lease from the BLM.[3] All buildings were removed in 1972 due to their unsafe conditions.[6]
Activities and amenities
As a stop on the Cascadia Marine Trail, the island's campsites are restricted to visitors arriving in non-motorized watercraft.[4] Activities include observing the abundant wildlife and frequently passing ferries.[1]
