The present site is abundant in natural beauty and, ',n the redevelopment of the site, this <br />beauty can become even mor(- accessible. Cabins and camping areas should be locateu on <br />bluffs with views both out to the lake and into natural areas, capitalizing on access to <br />prevailing breezes. -',e two marsh areas, each with their distinctly different forms of <br />vegetation, should be observed from developed trails with various plant species <br />identified. In general, a thorough cl-3nup of the grounds is required, including removal <br />of felled trees and dead brush. <br />The existing beach at the southeast corner of the Island is well located, but should be <br />cleaned up and provided with proper support facilities such as playground equipment and <br />to' ets. <br />The present dock area is well located in a semi -protected cove, but could be improved with <br />a breakwater immediately south of the docks. The present docks have suffered from ice <br />damage and need to be replaced. <br />The only formal part of the Island, the open lawn area or "grand mall" which extends from <br />the concrete terrace at the dock area to the Dining Hall, should be restored to its <br />original condition because of its focal position on the Island. This would include the <br />rehabilitation of the concrete terrace and regrading of the lawn area to eliminate the <br />irregularity of the present terrain. <br />
