The entry fee included a ferry ride. I was shocked at how idyllic the island is with the vegetation having taken hold. For a relatively small island there's some very nice and mellow hiking trails. The view of planes landing from the north drumlin is fantastic. While looking for beach glass I came across the jawbone of a horse which has to be at least a century old as the rendering plant closed in 1910.
