You would have to call them to confirm how to access this but I believe they have a dock on the southern end of the island with a marked trail that will take you to the top of the island. It is listed on their website below as a "publicly accessible property" along with Stonedam Island, Five Mile Island and some others. I would recommend calling them so that you understand whatever rules they have about property access. Their contact info is on their website.

The LRCT land on Rattlesnake is not open to the public. Open for a short time, it was abused by some... lighting campfires etc. As far as I can see, it is not listed on the publicly accessible property.
