Grape Island
Come visit a wildlife paradise and take in the sights and sounds of this beautiful 101-acre island.
Willow and elm trees overlook the island accompanied by an abundance of wild berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, that provide food for the local wildlife. Although a fortification was never built on the island, it was the site of a Revolutionary War skirmish called the “Grape Island Alarm”. Since it was never used for industry or defense, Grape Island has retained its serenity and natural beauty.
Grape Island is currently closed due to ongoing facility maintenance.
