This island boasts a nice sandy beach on the west shore and has a gently sloping sandbar on the west and south sides making it perfect for swimming, lounging and just relaxing. There are lots of mature trees and areas to explore, including great 'fun zone' areas created for a bonfire pit, bag games, and horseshoe pit.
This area of the Mississippi is one of the nicest stretches of river in the state with miles of boating, fishing, Minnesota wildlife and recreation available. It also connects with Little Rock Lake via the Harris Channel about a mile away. Camp, fish, hunt, boat, jet ski or paddle board on this unique oasis.

*Note there are a LOT of islands in and around the area indicated for Fantasy Guyisland.
Even if owning an island isn't realistic right now, just know that the Powerball is currently sitting at $20 million, so I'm still saying there is a chance.
