The Lake Erie Islands - Jewels of the Great Lakes
Our beautiful Lake Erie Islands are a chain of archipelagic islands. They include islands located in both the United States and Canada. The majority of the islands are in the state of Ohio. The largest island is Pelee Island located in Canada and the southernmost point in Canada is Middle Island. Major islands in the United States include Kelleys Island, Middle Bass Island, and South Bass Island. Many of the islands are nature preserves or privately owned.
The larger islands to include Pelee Island, Middle Bass Island, Kelleys Island and South Bass Island have regular car ferry service in season. Some of the smaller islands have their own ferry docks and can arrange special ferry service.
