'''Snook's Harbour''' is a community on the north side of [[Random Island]], fronting on [[Smith Sound]]. | |||
Its name is thought to be derived from the name od winter woods workers and the fairly large harbour. While shallow, the harbour is one of the few sheltered locations on the Smith Sound side of Random Island. | |||
The community itself is really a consolidation of three communities, Snook's Harbour itself, but also the outlying [[Sooley's Brook]] and [[Wake's Brook]]. | |||
