Lake Ridge Island Mounds, Archaeological site near Russells Point, Ohio
Four small mounds spread across five acres at the northern section of Lake Ridge Island contain evidence of Native American construction methods and practices.
The Ohio Historical Society documented these mounds in the 1970s, noting their excellent preservation state without disturbance from artifact collectors or other intrusions.
These structures share characteristics with Hopewell culture monuments, suggesting a connection to groups who maintained distance from main cultural centers in prehistoric times.
The mounds stand within Indian Lake State Park, with State Route 368 curving around the eastern edge to protect these archaeological formations.
Each of the four mounds measures no more than three feet in height and forty feet in diameter, making them appear similar to natural land formations.
