Over the centuries, discarded snail shells from the Precolumbian Indians accumulated to form the two large mounds that are visible today. A replica of a large owl totem and a frog/otter, carved by Indians over 6,000 years ago stands in the picnic area. The scenery of the island varies with the elevation.
