🐍 The Lake Erie water snake was once endangered—but thanks to conservation efforts, it made a remarkable comeback! 🎉 Native to the Lake Erie Islands, this non-venomous snake plays a vital role in the ecosystem by helping control invasive fish like the round goby. This one was seen at Kelleys Island State Park last week. If you see one basking on a rock or swimming near shore, give it space and a smile—it’s a sign of a healthy Lake Erie! 🌊 Ohio State Parks | Ohio Department of Natural Resource
