With a single year-round resident — a township maintenance worker — and up to about 200 seasonal cottagers in summer, Cockburn Island in Lake Huron's North Channel is effectively a ghost town rather than a working freight port. Its waterfront amenities are limited to a sheltered municipal dock and marina at Tolsma Bay serving local and recreational boats. There is no container or general-cargo handling and no commercial customs facility. Forwarders with real cargo on Lake Huron use commercial ports such as Goderich, Ontario.
