Facts and practical information

The Church of the Good Shepherd is an Episcopal church on Saint Hubert's Isle in Raquette Lake, in the town of Long Lake, New York. Erected by developer William West Durant in 1880, it was built to serve the owners, guests and employees of the Great Camps that Durant was creating in the area. Designed by the architectural firm of J. Cleaveland Cady of New York City, Good Shepherd is an example of the stick style of architecture, popular during the latter part of the 19th century. The island was originally named Bluff Island, but was later renamed in honor of Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters. ()
