Ferry Island acquired it's name in the early 1900s when it was a major hub for two riverboat ferries. However, my children have always lovingly referred to it as "Fairy" Island due to the presence of the beautiful carvings in the bark of cottonwood trees that have been carved over the years by a local artist. Although most of the carvings feature mysterious faces peering out at you, there are also many other unique carvings sprinkled throughout the island. One tree in particular is where my children are certain that most of the local fairies like to call home.
While you're here admiring the carvings, you might as well take a moment to see if any of the fairies are home.
Cache is well stocked with treasures that a 2, 6, and 8 year old think would entice the fairies to stick around for a while.
