From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buckley Island is an island on the Ohio River in Wood County, West Virginia between Marietta, Ohio and Williamstown, West Virginia. The Interstate 77 bridge over the Ohio crosses the island's western portion. Throughout its history, Buckley Island has also been known as Kerrs Island and Meigs Island. The island is a part of the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge and can be accessed by sternwheelers out of Marietta.

The Muskingum River empties into the Ohio River a mile south of Buckley Island.
