Property Info

Truax Island is a small island located in the heart of the Sans Souci community just south of Frying Pan Island. It was the first conservation easement held by the Georgian Bay Land Trust, having been donated by owner Adam Howard in 2001.

The island is primarily open bedrock with localized patches of vegetation typical of both rock barren communities and wetland communities. Small depressions in the bedrock often create moist conditions that support a variety of wetland species including Round-leaved Sundew and Small Purple-fringed Orchid. During low water conditions, an emergent meadow marsh community connects this island to the adjacent, inhabited island known as Trusty Island.
