Partridge Island is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay, off the northeast shore of Deer Island.[1][2][3][4] As of 1983 the island was owned by Nellie Holmes.[1]
The island has spruce and balsam fir, and is composed of dark-green fine-grained volcanic rocks.[1] It has wild raspberry and gooseberry, and both mice and voles have been observed.[1]
It is the site of two shell middens, BgDr48 and BgDr49, that have been studied and dated between 400 BC to 500 AD.[5][1]
