I’ve heard they live around here, but in all the years I’ve lived in Lawrence, this is the first time I’ve seen one. This one was crossing the road near the docks at the west side of the state park.

Im pretty sure it’s a timber rattlesnake, but I know very little about identifying snakes. I only figured out it was a rattlesnake because I spotted the little rattle at the rear.
