Property Info

Hamilton Island is a beautiful small island located in Norgate Inlet - north of Bayfield, and south of Britt. Judging by its growth regeneration, it is suspected that the western end of the island underwent a burn at some point in the last ten to twenty years. The island supports several vegetation communities, including a shrubbed rock barren and several small Georgian Bay Coastal Mineral Meadow Marshes with a diversity of wetland plants. The combination of these two communities provides ideal snake habitat.
