A romantic landmark of the Campbell days on Apple Island was Ghost Walk, also known by more realistic residents as Cedar Lane. It ran from Grandma Campbell’s cottage north to a spot on the shore line called ‘High Seat,’ where one could obtain a scenic view of the lake. The wire in the tires at the left was used to string chinese lanterns during festive occasions.

Scow used to transport goods, wagons, and people to Apple Island. Nellie Linn, Jessie Harvey, Mr. Sanderson with Grace S., John Harvey, Sr. Phil Phalman (working on island), Forest Campbell sitting. From Campbell Harvery Manuscript – (Grandson of Colin and Caroline Campbell) The scow was simply a square barge, long enough and wide enough to accomodate a wagon and team of horses. A protective railing along the sides protected the passengers, and in it were the sockets, into which the oarlocks fitted. It was propelled by oars, maybe 12 feet long, which were usually manned by two persons, but the rower could move it.
