Excursion to Plum Island Set for Aug. 22

Rear range light and keeper’s house.

Plum Island is currently open during daylight hours through Labor Day to kayakers who land on the beach near the dock. Boaters who moor offshore and row a dinghy to the same landing area may also access the island. Excursions to Plum Island will be available to the public on Aug. 22. Contact Shoreline Charters at 920.854.4707 to schedule a visit. More public access is expected after repairs to the dock and breakwall take place some time in the future. All of the island’s trails have been widened and are in excellent condition for hikers. For more information, visit plumandpilot.org or fws.gov/refuge/green_bay/.
