It is due south-east of DeCourcy Island, being separated by Ruxton Passage.
The island is forested with Douglas fir, balsam fir, red cedar, maple, vine maple, arbutus, shore pine, Garry oak, Red Alder and willow trees.
The few mammals that inhabit the island include otters, mink, Douglas squirrels, mice, and a few homo sapiens.
There is a smaller bay located about halfway down the island on the west side, locally known as Nayler Bay, after the Nayler family who sold the island to Frank Ney (former mayor of Nanaimo, B.C.)
Numerous smaller waterfowl and frogs inhabit the wetland year round.
