Lime Island is an island in the St. Marys River in Raber, Chippewa County, Michigan.[1] The 1.41 sq. mile island is home to the Lime Island State Recreation Area. Besides a few cabins and camp sites the island remains covered in forest, which hosts the island's population of black bear.[2] There are several smaller islands that surround Lime island.
