Awesome nature hike through a freshwater estuary. Great birwatching and wildlife mecca with access to Lake Erie beach.

You can spend hours or an entire day and never see the same thing twice. Turtles, fox, fish, eagles, snakes, birds and more!

Good place for a run...tons of wildlife!

If I saw 100 squirrels/fox and other 4 legged creatures I’d be understating. Great views, nice mixture of paths. Not super long, if your going for a trail run it’s about 1.5-2.0mi round trip.

Small park

Not much there. Just a place to take a small little walk. Quiet spot and safe. Locals park. Not much of a tourist spot.

Can you swim at the beach here?

July 15, 2018|

Answer

You can wade in the water but it isn't recommended you swim in the water. It isn't very sandy. Head to Nickle Plate Beach up the road. it is still a do not miss though! Enjoy!
