Hope Island (Ontario)

Hope Island (Ontario)

Hope Island is the northern of three islands in south eastern Georgian Bay. It was named by Henry Bayfield after he surveyed it in the 19th century. Like its neighbour Christian Island, the uninhabited island is part of an Ojibwa reserve.

In 1884, a lighthouse was placed on the northwest side of the island. Despite this there are a number of wreck sites off the island.
