Green Island, Lake island in Lake Erie, Ohio, United States.
Description
Green Island is a small lake island in Lake Erie located southwest of Put-in-Bay, characterized by limestone formations and native vegetation across its landscape. The terrain displays natural stone structures that define the island's appearance.
History
The island received a lighthouse in the mid-1800s that guided ships on the lake and made it an important navigation point. This structure shaped the island's history for many years.
Culture
Lighthouse keeper William Gordon constructed a radio set that connected the isolated island to broadcasts from distant stations during his service.
Practical
The island is not open to the public since it functions as a protected nature area and remains closed to preserve wildlife. Visitors can only view it from a distance by boat or from the shore.
Did you know?
Mineral crystals were discovered on the island and held industrial importance for sugar beet processing during the 1800s. This discovery made the island briefly significant for economic reasons.
