"When Bugaboo Island was first discovered, it was then traversed by various trails and paths made by the numerous wild animals on this particular island. There were quite a lot of deer on this island, and it is said by the oldest inhabitants that very few islands of the swamp had more game than Bugaboo. Although there were several larger, this prairie gives the deer good feeding grounds, as there are several different kinds of water plants that are choice food for deer."
