How many island homes are on the lake?

bilproject · 11-20-2008, 12:27 AM

You correctly listed 2 homes for South Dolly and noted that Bizer does not list this island. Bizer lists it as Penny. However, if you go to Google Earth you will see Dolly Island listed and the Island to the South and East, which is completely divided by water until the lake level reaches below 503' marked as Penny. Now look behind Penny (as listed by google) and you will see another small island with no name. It is about 400 sq foot and has a 340 sq ft house on it 2 trees and a dock. That my friend is an island and it's name is Penny Island! What Bizer and Google call Penny (I'm sure Google picked it up from Bizer or Duncan) is known to the locals as South Dolly.
If you go to the Meredith web site and access the tax assessment put in Penny Island for a street address. Two listings will come up #1, #6. Two buildings are listed for #1 (South Dolly). These are owned by the same person but rented seperately and they are on opposite sides of the split in the island. They used to be owned by the Patterson Family. Number 6 is on the real 400 sq ft Penny island. Penny island is seperated from South Dolly by over 30 feet of water and no matter how low the lake I have never seen it connected to South Dolly. Maybe Bizer should go take a look. Be careful though as the chart is correct about the numerous shallow rocks. Penny has a dock and Carl Linstrom who owns the Island can even navigate them in the dark.
By my count that's Dolly-2, South Dolly-2, and Penny-1

Oops, posted this on the wrong thread - disregard.

Careful on this one. It sounds like you're talking about counting all of Oliver's buildings as being on Six Mile. Most of the lodge is on the mainland, on Powers Road in Meredith facing Pine Island. Only one building is on Six Mile, although Oliver also owns a tiny island between the mainland and Pine, which is completely covered by an A frame building. The name escapes me, but I'm pretty sure we already got it further up the thread.

correct, the little island in between the Y-Landing and Pine Island is Goose Island and there isn't much island to be seen since the A-frame is most of it.

Here is the latest version, I have decided to give them edition dates so we don't get confused.

There are now 206 non-bridged islands on our list and we have identified 826 homes on 110 of them.

I have written to Bizer to get his concurrence of bilproject's explanation on Dolly, South Dolly and Penny. In the meantime, I have included bilproject's info in the list.

M/V Bear II & Pine Island Guy - thanks for the clarification on Oliver's.

I believe that Bizer is incorrectly naming the island off Geneva Point "Goose Egg Rock Island". Goose Egg Rock is the submerged shoal marked by marker 12. There are two islands off Geneva Point. One is called Hartsock Island owned for many years by the Hartsock family and I forget the name of the other next to it (Bobs Island?). They are on the newer charts that are sitting up at the lake! I don't see it on Bizer's list.

Grant Island has a house on it. There is no septic or electricty, so i don't think the owner can sleep there. Does That count?

Anyway, they both have 1 house on them. Grant Island is owned by John Bridges of Island RE. There is a house on it, but I don't think he has sewer or electricity and therefore can't sleep there. Does that count?

Take it from someone who has spent their entire life summering on an island with no sewer and no electricity, you can sleep in these houses. And sleep well! I would never trade it for a house with electricity (although a flush toilet and shower would be a welcomed luxury). Living without electric lights at night is sooooo relaxing.

I know that I've seen some old outhouses, still in use, in Meredith. Been in use since probably the 1920's, and maybe earlier. Basically, only used in the warmer months and just set above a hole in the ground.

Occaisionally treated with powdered lime, and located at a tax-exempt summer camp, I wonder if that is still a building code approved use because it's an original from way back when?

chaseisland · 12-01-2008, 11:52 AM

Twenty-one (21) on Chase island. Farm Island has one (1) that can't be seen from the water, but if one does a little trespassing!!! Who me ???

Hi could you add my house on Hemlock Point Island. It is the only one on the island.
