Erie Marsh Preserve

Description :

Erie Marsh represents 11% of the remaining marshland in southeastern Michigan and is one of the largest marshes on Lake Erie. Located on North Maumee Bay, Erie Marsh Preserve supports numerous animals and plants that would otherwise be hard-pressed to find suitable habitat. This sprawling preserve plays a huge role as a migratory and nesting area for shorebirds, waterfowl, land birds and, in the fall, raptors. Please note the Erie Marsh Preserve is closed to the public from September 1 to January 1 for waterfowl hunting season.
