West Harbor Landing is a 16 acre parcel that was purchased by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service from the Bradley family in 2016. It is located on Catawba Island, about 4 miles east of Port Clinton, Ohio. Much of the acreage is marshland. Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge plans to improve the remaining land to include pollinator habitat and visitor amenities including a gazebo, fishing platform/observation deck, improved canoe/kayak launch, benches, trash/recycling, and signage. To do this, they need our help! Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge has a goal to raise $35,000 by December 31, 2018 to enhance and maintain this gem.
According to the Ohio Department of Transportation reports, an estimated 10,000 people travel past this area each day. Called “the Lost Bay” by locals, this site will connect traveling tourists to the Lake Erie marshes and the National Wildlife Refuge System. |
