Raccoon Island (New Jersey)

Raccoon Island is an island located in the Delaware River, within the boundaries of New Jersey. It's a relatively small island, and its precise size and geographic coordinates vary depending on the source and the river's fluctuating water levels. While largely undeveloped, its proximity to the mainland makes it a potential site of ecological interest. The island's name, suggestive of its potential wildlife, is believed to derive from historical observations of raccoon populations residing there, although concrete historical evidence documenting this is limited. Limited public access and a lack of significant infrastructure restricts opportunities for detailed study of the island's flora and fauna. Further research is needed to fully document the island's ecological features, historical significance, and current status.
