St. John's River with Drayton Island on right
Drayton Island is a privately owned heavily wooded island at the northern end of Lake George on the west side of the Saint Johns River's main channel in Putnam County, Florida.[1] Coordinates: 29°41′N -81.38°26.99′E The island is located across the river from a marina in Georgetown, Florida. A small public ferry, one of three left on the river, holds two cars at a time and services the small island's population.[2] [3] The island was a plantation when William Drayton, an immigrant from South Carolina, bought it along with other properties in Florida.[4]
