From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stuart Island is a privately owned island without ferry access in the Discovery Islands of British Columbia. This is located between Vancouver Island and the mainland off the northern half of Vancouver Island. The island is mostly home to exclusive fishing lodges and large private estates. Most of the visitors arrive by float plane or helicopter. Nanook Lodge is the only fishing/adventure lodge open to the public on Stuart Island and has scheduled daily seaplane service from Seattle.
Among the property owners on this island is Dennis Washington, a Montana Businessman and owner of the Washington Marine Group and Dave Ritchie, a Vancouver businessman. On Dennis Washington's estate he has blasted out of the granite a 9 hole golf course.
Stuart Island has a paved, private airstrip. It does not appear on any aeronautical chart or in the Canada Flight Supplement.
