The lagoon nearby was used for Olympic regatta training in the 1960's. Hunter Island is now connected to the nearby Twin Island and Rodman's Neck by Robert Moses using landfill and sunken barges. These islands were privately owned before the city bought them to create Pelham Bay Park. Hunter Island was once owned by John Hunter, a wealthy auctioneer and farmer.
Hunter Island is home to the Kazimiroff Nature Trail, which, though beautiful, is known to be infested with ticks and mosquitoes during the summer season.
