  • In the Famous 1000 Islands (Year Round Availability & Access)
    The Kelly Cottage In the Famous 1000 Islands (year round availability & access) Howe Island, 41 Pickett’s Lane, Minutes to Kingston & Gananoque (near public Golf Courses & Charity Casino) 1 Welcome to Howe Island … or as the locals say, Welcome to ‘The Island’. Howe Island is a 31 km² island located in the St. Lawrence River near Kingston, Ontario, is part of the Thousand Islands chain and measures approximately 13 km X 5 km. Originally named Ka-ou-enesegoan by local Iroquois and later Isle Cauchois after its first French owners who took possession in 1685, it became known as Howe Island on July 16th, 1792 , supposedly named after George Augustus, Lord Howe. There is some evidence that it was once called St. John's. There is no evidence of any permanent inhabitation until 1810 by a man named William Casey. In the following four decades successive waves of settlers brought many of the island's long standing families who still live or own land there. The population currently numbers approximately 300 residents, although this figure doubles in the summer months when recreational properties are occupied. Two, year- round ferry services connect ‘The Island’ to the mainland. Main Ferry (4 min. trip) – closest Kingston 15 cars on demand; 24 hrs/day 7 days/week; year round East Island Ferry (4 min. trip) – closest to Gananoque 3 cars on demand; 7 days/week 6:00 am – 12:45 am *on demand = no scheduled times; simply arrive @ Ferry dock on either side for pickup. 2 Driving Directions to Howe Island, 41 Pickett’s Lane From West Highway 401East to Exit 632 Joyceville turn right; cross Hwy 2; proceed to Howe Island Ferry dock.

    European Water Chestnut Eradication Program 2016 / 2017 Year-End Update This document was prepared by Justin White, Ducks Unlimited Canada Coordinator of the European Water Chestnut Eradication Program This document was produced with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry A warm thank you to our partners and supporters 2 EDRR Water Chestnut Program Update The following is the FY16/17 water chestnut program update. It will discuss program funding, results, conclusions and proposed actions for 2017/2018. The appendix includes the analysis and breakdown2014-2016 data of removed plants from Wolfe Island - Bayfield Bay, Button Bay, Browns Bay, as well as 2014-2016 surveillance locations associated with the DUC Habitat Suitability Model Surveillance Locations for European Water Chestnut in Eastern Lake Ontario and the Upper St. Lawrence River. Program Funding For 2016/2017, a Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA) funding request of $48,000.00 was placed by Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Kingston Field Office. The funding request was approved and provided the program with a rental truck, program equipment and staffing dollars to operate until March 31, 2016. This application was a multi-year application and therefore requiring confirmation by MNRF Kingston District annually for continued support in seeking COA funding. It should be noted that the COA request of $48,000.00 was subject to HST per MNRF/DUC agreement; therefore DUC was obligated to charge $5522.12 in HST per agreement. The Invasive Species Centre (ISC) provided DUC with $12,500.00 for operational costs while DUC was successful in obtaining a $10,000.00 grant from Ontario Wildlife Fund as well.
