#2154 "Goat Island Eastern Branch of the Dumoine"

This is the view where the eastern branch of the Dumoine River spills over the last ledge before entering the torrent of the waterfall. Paddlers would also be well advised to stay west of Goat Island. If they took the eastern branch of the Dumoine around goat island there was no option but to take the falls.

The fog and mist had lifted into an overcast of low stratus. The tops of the hills to the north were blanketed in cloud. The weather of the previous two days would be reepeated.

Apparently Goat Island was so named because early settlers thought that they would like some fresh milk. Goats left on the island would quickly learn that there was no way off and the shepherd would know where to find their livestock. The goat milk did not last for long though. Apparently wolves in the neighbourhood also liked the goats.
