Description:
Chimney Island lies in the 1000 Islands region of Southern Ontario, Canada. It gets it's name from the distinctive structure that adournes the windswept rock, standing boldly against the skyline. The current structure is actually the third chimney to be erected on this island. The first was built against a trapper's cabin in the late 1700's. That cabin burned and the french settler was murdered - a mystery that has never been solved. The second chimney was part of a British blockhouse fort, built during the War of 1812 to defend vital supply routes through the islands. A summer resident from a nearby island built the present chimney from the rubble of the first two because a chimney seemed so much a part of this glacier carved island.
