Lost Ballast Island
Island in the United States of America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lost Ballast Island is an island in the U.S. state of Ohio, located in Lake Erie. The island was once a part of Ballast Island, but was separated into a separate island by a strong storm.[1][2] Historically, the island was not inhabited by humans,[2] though it was a site for Nerodia sipedon insularum.[3] Since the 1970's has sunk into Lake Erie to become a reef.[4] During periods of low water the island reappears. It is located in Put-in-Bay Township, Ottawa County, Ohio.
