  Ghegheto Island, also known as Round Island, is an island in Lake Huron, about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the coast near Howdenvale, Ontario. The island is about 1,770 feet (540 m) long on its south-southwest axis and 600 feet (180 m) across in the north-northeast direction. It sits on a shallow shoal that also includes Cavalier Island, and which can pose a danger to ship navigation. Collectively, the small islands in this area are known as the Fishing Islands.
  
  Captain Bayfield, who charted the Bruce Peninsula in 1822, named the island after his Ojibwe assistant Ogima Ghegeto.
