Property Info

Located in the northwestern section of Pointe au Baril, Price is a pretty and remarkably flat tableland island. It is sparsely vegetated and consists mostly of shrubbed rock barren, which provides excellent snake habitat.

Price Island was notable for the Georgian Bay Land Trust as the first property to be donated to us by a combination of Canadian and American owners. Thank you to the generous donors and the partner organizations, including American Friends of Canadian Conservation, who made this gift possible and blazed a trail for future cross-border donations.
