Rabbit Island (also known as Traverse Island) is a 91-acre (37 ha) island in Lake Superior located 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula. The island is largely uninhabited and protected by a conservation easement which prevents future development. The island is home to the Rabbit Island Residency, which sponsors a number of artists to live on the island during the summer months.[1][2] [1]: http://rabbitisland.org/ [2]: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/08/garden/an-island-for-one-with-room-to-share.html
