Spinnaker Island and Springbank Island are both located in the West Basin of the lake.[1] The West Basin extends from the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge to Acton Peninsula.

In 2010, invasive exotic vegetation were found on the island, requiring a controlled burn-off for their removal and to reduce the presence of weeds.[2]
