    While walking at Secor Metropark on the walk/bike trail my wife and I found what appeared to be a baby Massasauga Rattlesnake. It was barely moving. It appeared to have been hit by a bicycle. We found it east of the cemetery where the unpaved trail turns in a southerly direction into the woods. I have three pictures, but I am not sure how to post them.

    I was wrong. Scott Carpenter with Toledo Metroparks indicated it was a small Eastern Hognose Snake. I had never seen a young Eastern Hognose Snake. The internet picture that I compared to the snake must have been mislabeled.
