Dowker Island is an uninhabited island in Lake Saint Louis, a widening of the Saint Lawrence River south of Montreal Island, Quebec. It is in the municipality of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot[1] which intends to preserve its natural state.[2]

The island is about a kilometre in length and breadth. Its surface geology is undifferentiated till deposits.[3] It is low-lying, mostly in a 100-year flood area,[4] and contains a muskrat habitat.[5]
