In 1968 to 1969, in aneffort to reduce flood rise in the Lower Townsite, the City of Fort McMurray constructed the Snye Dyke. This structure was designed to reduce spring flood risk and connected the Lower Townsite to MacDonald Island for the first time. This road connetion dramatically increase the Island's use as a recreation site for the community. In 1968, the Miskanaw Golf Club has grown from a 9 hole course with sand greens in 1968 to an 18 hole course with grass greens, driving range and putting green.
