Looking for a great way to entertain your summer guests, your children, or your relatives?  Are you looking for an escape from any of those parties?  We have the perfect answer!  Get away to Rose Island for a picnic!

Escapists can bring their book, beach chair and sunscreen, and prepare for an afternoon of solitary bliss. Gregarious sorts can pack up the family, kids and guests, beach buckets, camera and naturalist handbook. In either case, Rose Island promises to delight and entertain you with its historic landmarks and natural beauty.
