Timber Island is a 44-hectare (110-acre) island in the east end of Lake Ontario, off Prince Edward County, Canada.[1][2][3] It is part of a chain of islands and shoals, including Stoney Island, Galloo Island, Main Duck Island, Yorkshire Island and Swetman Island.[4] Timber Island and Swetman Island, and their nearby shoals, are known as the False Duck Islands.
The island used to be home to bald eagles.[3][4]
The island was donated to the province by its owner, Barbara Cody, in 1962.[3]
The island is currently part of the Sandbanks Provincial Park, visitors are allowed, after getting the permission of the park superintendent.[5] Most of the island is covered by an oak-hickory forest. Plants rare to eastern Ontario are found on the island. The island provides a resting spot for birds on their annual migration.
