History 
  • SVCA bought his 40 ha (98 acres) property in 1977. It is a 5 minute drive from Kincardine.
  • While you visit, see if you can solve the great disappearing island mystery.  The Conservation Area's namesake does exist, but where?
  • Captain Duncan Rowan travelled to a small natural harbour in Kincardine township in 1849. A small island and a shoal created this harbour. The location is south of the present day Stoney Island Conservation Area.
    • The little community named Port Head, had a good sized steam sawmill and a post office.
    • A mighty gale demolished the island in 1857.
    • After this storm, the island disappeared. The mill was closed in 1858.
  • Stoney Island is a Conservation Area and Managed Forest property.
