    Overview

    The Wolves (or the Wolf Islands) are undeveloped, largely forested, islands in the Pennfield Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada in the Bay of Fundy. They are 60–100 feet (18–30 m) in height, "steep and bold", with deep passages between them ranging from 12 to 20 fathoms (72 to 120 ft; 22 to 37 m). They are sometimes named as the fourth of the major archipelagos that make up the Fundy Islands, alongside Campobello Island, Deer Island and Grand Manan. It is considered a "Ecologically and Biologically Significant Area". A pond at Southwest Cove on East Wolf Island is the only source of freshwater.
