The Duck Islands are in the Campobello Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada in the Bay of Fundy.,[1][2][3] southwest of Campobello Island.[4]
Described as rocky with stunted fir trees, they are the base for fishing weirs and a number of shoals, ledges and long flats reach out toward Campobello.[5]
There is a geodetic triangulation station on the largest, innermost, Duck Island.[6]
In August 2024, searches for a deceased paddleboarder centered around the Duck Island ledges.[7]
