Pine Point Dock
This was one of the last docks to be built, on the
north side of the island. In winter, the wind out
of the north can be brutal for anyone standing on
this dock.
But in the summer, it is a joy to behold.
It faces out into a secluded bay and the pristine
wilderness of the far mainland shore. It offers the
greatest privacy and seclusion, to such extent that
some of our guests have been, ahem, forgetting to
don their swimsuits at times. The dock is in full
sun most of the day, but the trees on the shore that
shade the picnic table offer cooling comfort. This
dock is perfect for those morning dips that many of
our Pine Point guests seem to like.
There is a floating section that we
attached a couple of years ago. This piece of dock
just floated onto our shore and was not claimed by
anyone. We feel that due to its broken-down condition
it had been discarded, but with a bit of sweat, lumber,
and floating insulation it is once again (for a while
at least) a dock.
