The north end of Woody Island is a 112 acre State Recreation Site. The remainder of the thirteen mile circumference island is privately owned. Woody Island was home for centuries to the Alutiiq people, who fished and hunted there before the Russians established their own agricultural colony. Life re-surged in the late 1800's with a Baptist Orphanage and a small town on the island. Woody Island has also has served as a staging ground for military communications during World War II. Now, all that's left is a small Christian summer camp run by the American Baptists. (excerpt from the Kodiak Military History Museum web site).
