I've done quite a bit of research into the island and have collected many Sugar Island related items over the past few years. It was used for commercial fishing on lake Erie and later was a popular picnic area in the late 1800's through the 1930's. There was also a roller coaster on the East side of the island, but it was only there for a few years before the park closed in 1937.
I actually just listed a few of my Sugar Island post cards on Ebay last week, If anyone may be interested in looking at more you can find them under my seller name there [[Knotfishingtoday).
