Rattlesnake Island (New Hampshire)

Some sections of the island are quite steep, with the land rising steeply from the shore (affording views of the area), while other sections, particularly on the "peninsula", which protrudes from the southerly side of the island, rise gradually.

Due to its great height, the island affords extensive views of the lake.

[citation needed] In addition to owning land on the island itself, the Rattlesnake Island Association owns a mainland area to the east of Smith Point in Glidden Cove which includes short-term docking, a boat launching ramp, and two large parking areas for residents and guests.

Electric power and wired telephone service is available to all parts of the island.

The Lakes Region Conservation Trust maintains a dock at the far southeastern end of the island, and Conservation Trust members are permitted to dock there and access the hiking trails.
