The island is beautiful. The severe storm, which hit the north side hard, left its mark. Storm damage can be seen everywhere, in the forest and in the "outlying areas."

A visually appealing hydroelectric power plant. It's especially beautiful to admire the natural beauty along the river that flows into the lake. There's a nice little restaurant at the top.
