I was just wondering if anybody has ever heard any talk of APCO coming in and placing rip rap or something around Sand Island (I like to call it "One Tree Island) to keep it from completely washing away. I have a place over past Veazey's Marina and that island, especially at night, serves as a major navigational aid. It would be a shame for the island to wash away. I remember when it had several trees and a picnic table.

On a sad note, for those of you that knew him, I heard that Mr. Louis Veazey the owner of Veazey's Marina passed away this past week. I've been going to his marina for 30 years so I will really miss seeing him.

Back in the mid 80's the corps placed sand bags on the upstream side of Sand Island. It held for a few years but has since washed away. I too have been visiting Sand Island for 30 years or so, and it seems a shame to see it wither away to nothing. It is a MAJOR landmark, and a wonderful playground for families. I haven't been to it in a couple of years, but the last time I was there it was so covered in goose poop you couldn't even step off the boat. It was really depressing. I have picked up TONS of trash left behind by others from there in the past.

Is the sign saying "Property of Sand Island Yacht and Country Club" still up in the tree?

It seems like there is a sign in the tree but I'm not sure. I haven't actually stopped there in 3 or 4 years but I pass by it several times every weekend and there are always people there playing. There was 8 or 10 people there yesterday afternoon.
I have talked to a friend of mine about possibly putting some type of solar light up in the tree for navigational purposes.
If the island ever completely disappears you can bet there will be quite a few unfamiliar boaters grounded there.

I'm lost - can you tell me a little more specifically where this is?

It is between Willow Point and Kowaliga. Most lake maps show where it is.
