Floating Island Disappears from Williston Reservoir | Vancouver News

A mysterious floating island—about the size of two football fields—appeared out of nowhere on B.C.’s Williston Reservoir, sparking wild local buzz before vanishing again. Experts believe high water levels dislodged years of accumulated driftwood, creating this rare natural phenomenon never seen before on this lake. Residents like Rocky Avery were among the first to spot it and alert authorities, fearing it might drift into sensitive zones. Though B.C. Hydro can’t track it via satellite, they’re watching for its return—possibly hiding in a sheltered cove. With reservoir levels at 14-year highs, nature’s surprises are back in full force, reminding everyone to stay vigilant on the water.
