Middle Bass Island, Ohio consists of 805 acre.  It is located north of South Bass Island and south of North Bass Island (Isle St George).  It is in northern Ottawa County, Ohio. Kelleys Island is east of the Bass Islands, and is located in Erie County.  Pelee Island is north of Middle Bass and is in Canada's Ontario Province.  There are numerous smaller islands in the area.  Middle Bass Island is centrally located and at this writing still a very affordable place to purchase a home or property.
