Rattlesnake Island , Ottawa County, Ohio


1 mile west of Middle Bass Island.

Rattlesnake Island is an 85-acre (34 ha) island located on Lake Erie near Put-In-Bay, 11 miles (18 km) northeast of Port Clinton, Ohio.

It is part of Put-in-Bay Township, in Ottawa County.

It is one of several islands known as the Lake Erie Islands.

The name Rattlesnake comes from the actual rattlesnakes that formerly inhabited the island (and supposedly also from the overall shape of the island — two small islets near the northern tip were said to resemble a rattlesnake's rattle).
