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.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, state and/or route:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics. Kentucky cannot claim first place in political importance, but it tops the list in its keen enjoyment of politics for its own sake. It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
—For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
