Located in the Saint Lawrence River, in the Thousand Islands archipelago in upstate New York, Just Room Enough Island, also known as Hub Island, holds a unique title: the smallest inhabited island in the world. With an area of about 310 square meters, it perfectly embodies its name, which translates to "just enough space."
Purchased by the Sizeland family in the 1950s, the island is characterized by its minimalist and charming layout. It features a house, a tree, a few shrubs, and a small beach. Everything fits surprisingly well, transforming this tiny island into a true oasis of peace.
More than just a geographical curiosity, Just Room Enough Island has become an iconic attraction, captivating tourists and lovers of the unusual. The island humorously and poetically demonstrates humanity's ability to adapt and make the most of even the smallest available space, right in the middle of the river.
