Brunot Island, River island in Marshall-Shadeland, Pittsburgh, United States
The 129-acre Brunot Island sits in the Ohio River, featuring a power station and dense vegetation along its shoreline.
Dr. Felix Brunot, a French surgeon who served with Marquis de Lafayette, purchased the island in 1800 for $2,800.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition made a notable stop at Brunot Island in 1803 during their preparation phase.
