Ohio State Route 357
State Route 357 (SR 357, OH 357) is a 2.35-mile (3.78 km) north–south state highway in the northern portion of U.S. state of Ohio. Existing entirely on South Bass Island in Lake Erie, the highway runs from its southern terminus at West Shore Boulevard near the car ferry to Catawba Island nearly 0.75 miles (1.21 km) west of Put-in-Bay to its northern terminus at Geiss Drive approximately 1.50 miles (2.41 km) east of Put-in-Bay.
SR 357 is one of two state highways on the Ohio islands of Lake Erie, along with SR 575 on Kelleys Island. Though this two-lane route runs predominantly east–west, it once extended to the mainland of Ohio via the Catawba Island ferry, which is why it carries a north–south routing.

“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
