• Comment: As a geographic natural feature, then this island is going to be notable under WP:NATFEAT. However we still need some sourcing. Here we have two blog site entries, one of which has official support, and two primary sources. So it's a bit light on sources. A search of "Huckleberry Island Ontario history" does provide additional sources. So I hope the submitting editor can add one or two more sources here.

Huckleberry island is most well known for the Hole in the Wall jumping rocks, a famous location in the Parry Sound area, sitting between Wall island and Huckleberry island.^[3]

The island is mostly Crown land, with a few summer cottages scattered along the shores of the island. Many people owning boats tend to camp on the public land of the island,^[4] as there are no roads leading to the island, making it only accessible by boat.
