Property Info

Rattlesnake Island is located in the northwestern part of the Pointe au Baril natural area. Due to its generous size and the presence of both rock barren and coastal meadow marsh vegetation communities, Rattlesnake Island provides habitat for its namesake Massasauga rattlesnake, and it likely provides habitat for other snakes as well.

Rattlesnake Island was one of the first cross-border donations the Georgian Bay Land Trust received from a group of Canadian and American donors. We're grateful to the island's donors for entrusting us with the protection of this special place.
