Cleveland Island (Massachusetts)

Cleveland Island is a small heavily forested island located in Wakeby Pond in Mashpee, Massachusetts.[1] It once belonged to president Grover Cleveland.[2] Cleveland once said that Daniel Webster caught a trout near the island, and then "talked mighty strong and fine to that fish and told him what a mistake he had made, and that he would have been all right if he had left the bait alone.[3]
