Sugar Island is mainly accessed through Lily Bay State Park, and is reached in approximately five minutes from the state park by boat. There is a fee at the state park of three dollars.
There are two resident camps on Sugar Island on the south side, which have been frequented by three generations of family members and friends year after year. In April 2000, at the time of the 22nd federal census, no family members were present, so the population is currently recorded as zero.
