Parker Island is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.[3][4][5]
In 1832, Thomas Baillie wrote of an island south of Macs Island "which has been settled, but now is deserted. It contains about fifty acres, and is fit for a fisherman.",[6] which could reference Parker or Jameson Island.
In December 1985, a study by Parks Canada assessed the island's value as $26,100.[1]
