Lost Ballast Island is an island in the U.S. state of Ohio, located in Lake Erie. The island was once a part of Ballast Island, but was separated into a separate island by a strong storm.[1][2] Historically, the island was not inhabited by humans,[2] though it was a site for Nerodia sipedon insularum.[3] Since the 1970's has sunk into Lake Erie to become a reef.[4] During periods of low water the island reappears. It is located in Put-in-Bay Township, Ottawa County, Ohio.
