  • Lake Erie Islands
    Number of Lake Erie Islands in Ohio: 15* 2010 Island Population: 945 (not including Johnson’s Island) Number of Access Sites: South Bass Island: 13 Middle Bass Island: 4 North Bass Island: 3 Kelleys Island: 6 Number of Right-of-Way Sites: 1 Miles of Publicly Accessible Coast: 9.7 miles Lake Erie Islands Ohio has over a dozen natural islands in Lake Erie’s Western Basin. The Lake Erie Islands range in size from miniscule rock outcroppings that disappear and reappear with the rise and fall of the lake’s water levels, to larger inhabited land masses. Ohio’s largest island is Kelleys Island (2,837 acres), followed by South Bass (1,523 acres), Middle Bass (771 acres) and North Bass (677 acres) islands. The remaining Lake Erie Islands in Ohio are all smaller than 100 acres. Johnson’s Island, located in Sandusky Bay, is 300 acres. Canada’s Pelee Island (10,330 acres) is the largest island in Lake Erie. Ohio’s islands are renowned for their natural resources, recreational opportunities, cultural attractions and charm. South Bass Island is the southernmost and most developed of the three Bass Islands. It is located in Ottawa County approximately three miles north of Catawba Point. In the 1850s, the grape-growing and wine-making industries began to flourish, which helped establish the island as a popular vacation destination. The 625-room Hotel Victory was built in 1892. When it opened it was the largest resort hotel in the country and featured the first co-ed swimming pool. Fire destroyed the hotel in 1919.

  • Amphibians and Reptiles of the Erie Islands
    No. 1 HACKBERRY BUTTERFLY LIFE HISTORY 11 AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES OF THE ERIE ISLANDS THOMAS H. LANGLOIS Department of Zoology and Entomology, The Ohio State University, Columbus 10 Near the western end of Lake Erie, there is a series of islands which were so notable for their snakes when the Jesuit explorer, Bonnecampe, visited the region on October 5, 1749, that he referred to them as "Les lies aux Serpentes" (The islands of snakes). A French soldier (J.C.B.), enroute from Presqu'ile, near the eastern end of Lake Erie, to Detroit, spent the night of July 21, 1754, on one of these islands, and recorded in his journal (1941) that his party killed 130 rattle- snakes before they dared to sleep. The map made by Chaussegros de Lery on August 4, 1754, bears the name used by Bonnecampe, but the map made in 1755 by dAnville and the map made in 1766 by Mitchel label them "Les lies aux Serpens a sonette" (The islands of rattlesnakes). The following description of Lake Erie was published in 1806, in the first American edition of Brooke's Gazetteer. It suggests that Lake Erie was more noted for the snakes of its islands than for its geographic features. Erie, Lake, in North America, lies between 41° and 43° N. Lat. and 79° and 84° W. Lon. It is 290 miles long, and 40 in its broadest part. The islands and banks towards its W. end are so infested with rattlesnakes, as to render it dangerous to land on them. The lake is covered near the banks of the islands with a large pond lily; the leaves of which are thickly spread on the surface of the water to an extent of many acres; on these, in the summer, lie myriads of watersnakes basking in the sun.

  • Shoreline Algae of Western Lake Erie1
    THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE Vol. 70 SEPTEMBER, 1970 ' No. 5 SHORELINE ALGAE OF WESTERN LAKE ERIE1 RACHEL COX DOWNING2 Graduate Studies in Botany, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio J/.3210 ABSTRACT The algae of western Lake Erie have been extensively studied for more than 70 years, but, until the present study by the author, conducted between April and October, 1967, almost nothing was known of the shoreline as a specific algal habitat. A total of 61 taxa were identified from the shorelines. The importance of this habitat is very clear from the results of this study, for, of the 61 taxa found, 39 are new records for western Lake Erie, and one, Arnoldiella conchophila Miller, appears to be a new United States record, having been previously reported only from central Russia. Western Lake Erie has been the site of extensive phycological research since 1898. After some 70 years of algal study, it would be reasonable to assume that all the various habitats would have been thoroughly studied and reported on, but when reports of research were compiled by Dr. Clarence E. Taft for a taxonomic summary, it became apparent that the shoreline had been neglected. Considerable information on the algae of the ponds, marshes, swamps, quarry ponds, open lake, inlets, ditches, and canals has been reported on by individuals and by agencies doing research, and by the algae classes at the Franz Theodore Stone Laboratory, Put-in-Bay, Ohio. Papers containing this information are by Jennings (1900), Pieters (1902), Snow (1902), Stehle (1923), Tiffany and Ahlstrom (1931), Ahlstrom and Tiffany (1934), Tiffany (1934 and 1937), Chandler (1940), Taft (1940 and 1942), Daily (1942 and 1945), Taft (1945 and 1946), Wood (1947), Curl (1951), McMilliam (1951), Verduin (1952), Wright (1955), Normanden and Taft (1959), Taft (1964a and 1964b), and Taft and Kishler (1968).

    OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE T. ATKINSON AND OTHERS 27 Length-weight relationships of the Emerald Shiner (Notropis atherinoides - Rafinesque, 1818) in the Western Basin of Lake Erie TIFFANY ATKINSON1, SCOTT DESROSIERS1, TESSA TOWNSEND1, and THOMAS P. SIMON2 1F.T. Stone Laboratory, The Ohio State University, 878 Bayview Drive, Put-in-Bay, OH, USA 2F.T. Stone Laboratory, The Ohio State University and the School of Public and Enviromental Affairs, Indiana University, 1315 E. Tenth Street, Bloomington, IN, USA ABSTRACT. Total length and standard length (mm) were compared to weight (mg) in the Emerald Shiner (Notropis atherinoides - Rafinesque, 1818) in the western basin of Lake Erie. Length and weight relationship (n = 400), length- frequency distribution, and sex ratios were evaluated for coastal and tributary habitats and compared to open water habitats. A strong positive correlation was observed between length and weight for both males and females. For males (n = 195) there was a significant positive relationship between standard length (SL) and weight (F = 935.64, d.f = 195; R2 = 0.989) and between total length (TL) and weight (F = 918.75, d.f. = 195; R2 = 0.991). In females (n = 205), there was also a strong positive correlation between SL and weight (F = 1108.18, d.f. = 204; R2 = 0.976) and between TL and weight (F = 1208.86, d.f. = 204; R2 = 0.983). This same positive relationship between SL and weight (F = 1909.58, d.f. = 399; R2 = 0.984,) and between TL and weight (F = 1960.07, d.f. = 399; R2 = 0.988) that was found for the individual sexes was present in the combined data for the two sexes.
