Small Lake Erie beach and adjacent marsh at Old Woman’s Creek offers shoreline compositions, dramatic cloudscapes and rich birdlife. Boardwalks and trails give elevated views of reedbeds, while sunsets across the water produce vivid colors. Accessible parking at the preserve; best light at sunrise or sunset. Spring/fall migration yields more birds; expect mosquitoes in summer and sturdy shoes for sand and boardwalks.
