CULVER, Ore. (AP) — The first thing you need to know about The Island is that you’re not allowed to go to The Island.
While it’s designated as a National Natural Landmark — one of 11 in Oregon — nobody, save a few officials with Oregon State Parks and the Bureau of Land Management, is given access.
