Duncan Bay

Post by Tampico »

Did anyone get to Duncan Bay in 2009?

I saw a picture on this forum of the McCargoe cove dock being dismantled, so I'm thinking they may have gotten to Duncan Bay as well.

The Duncan Bay lakeside camp was one of my favorite places on the island. I'm going to miss that dock.

I did in July. Everything was normal there except for the fire on the island just east of the dock. Unless they did something to it after I left?
I agree, that's one of my favorite spots as well. Very peaceful in the evening.

They rebuilt the dock at McCargoe, so there's a new one there. I don't know of any plans to remove any docks at this point. Although there has been discussion in the past I think the decision was to leave all docks in place and repair/replace as needed. If anyone knows different, please let us know.
