Corey Island
]]
Corey Island is a ten acre island at the south end of Upper Saranac Lake. One of the owners, Arthur Hardy Jr., called it Boulder Island, though that was apparently never an official name.
The camp was started in the 1890s. In 1924, it was sold by James and Irene Elliott to Dr. Arthur Hardy, a physician from Mt. Vernon.
In 1978 the island was owned by siblings Arthur Hardy Jr., Dr. Edward A. Hardy, and Helen B. Rooney, who were engaged in a legal skirmish over the latter's plans to use the island for an art performance, "Island Eye Island Ear", featuring kites, artificial clouds, and broadcast nature sounds.
