Geography
Goat Island was formed following the damming of the Powell River and subsequent flooding of the valleys surrounding the island. The island has an approximate total area of 67.4 km2 (26.0 sq mi) and features three small island lakes: Clover Lake, Frogpond Lake, and Spire Lake. The highest point on the island is Goat Island Peak with an approximate elevation of 1,320 m (4,330 ft) above sea level.
The forest on the island has been extensively logged for timber, leaving a relatively young second-growth forest in its place.
