Garrett Island, River island in Cecil County, Maryland, US.
The island lies 1.8 miles from the Susquehanna River mouth, between Perryville and Havre de Grace, crossed by two major bridges.
King James I granted the island to Edward Palmer in 1622, followed by William Claiborne establishing a trading post there in 1637.
The island's name changed from Palmer's Island to Watson Island, and finally to Garrett Island after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad president.
Managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the island requires visitors to bring supplies as there are no developed facilities.
The island contains remnants of an ancient offshore volcano, making it the only rocky island in the Chesapeake Bay's tidal waters.
