Location

Located on "Lower Twin Island" (AKA Sisters Island), the largest of three sandy river islands in the Ohio River. The opening of the Pike Island Locks and Dam about a mile upstream in 1963 raised the river level enough to submerge "Upper Twin Island" and greatly reduce the size of "Lower Twin Island".

Owner / Operator

Built by the Wheeling Amusement Company who purchased the island for $5,000 USD.

Operating schedule

The Ohio River Flood of 1907 caused extensive damage and even after attempts to rebuilt the park, it never reopened.
Advertised date of the grand opening yet it appears the park opened earlier.
