Green Island is a 13-acre island in Lower Saranac Lake. Until the practice was ended in 1975, there were two Platform Tent sites on the island. As a part of the Saranac Lake Islands Campground there is now just one campsite.
In 1963, Harry Duso arranged for Alex W. Dreyfoos Jr., who spent the summers of his childhood at his father's tent platform site on Burnt Island to acquire a small camp on Green Island. Dreyfoos added a 2nd platform tent on the site.
New York State started phasing out the system of Tent Permits in the mid-1960s; by 1975 the tents were razed by the state.
