Zuckerberg Island

We took a walk around Zuckerberg Island in Castlegar (as seen on Amazing Race Canada lol!) I actually hadn't been there before but I've always wanted to check it out. You cross a suspension bridge to get to the island, which is a small land mass on the Columbia River. There are a series of paths around the island, and in the center is a Russian Orthodox Chapel House.

Chapel House was the home of Alexander Zuckerberg for many years until his death in 1961. It is now cared for by the local Historic Society, and at times opened up for visitors.
