Rattlesnake Island was a hill left after the lake was flooded in the 1960s. It is a big attraction to locals and vacationers alike due to its sandy beaches and close proximity to many of the camping parks on Lake Sam Rayburn.
A fire started by someone who threw down a cigarette on the island started a small blaze on Sunday, it was put out by Island Patrons and thought to be extinguished at the time they all left around 8pm. It was reported at 2.30am on 7.13.2009 that the whole island was on fire.
I was called by a friend and took my camera to go and look at the Island from the bank and these are some Panorama Images that i made from several different lenses that i took to use.
Most of the damage was to the underbrush and pine straw that was laying on the ground. Whith the unusually dry conditions in the Lakes area, the fire danger is very high and people need to be very cautious and mindful where they throw their cigarettes.
