Islands represent one of the most exciting, unique, amazing, captivating features of Lake Pawtuckaway. So I kayak about it, I get to wondering what are their names. Yes, I know all the maps label the big one as Log Cabin Island (although, none of us have found evidence of a log cabin there) which is guarded in the channel approach by the Twin Islands. The Twins by their appearance give creditability to their names.
