Beaver Marsh Details
This is a good place to visit during the waterfowl migrations in March and November. Wetlands provide essential feeding and resting places to migrating birds. Less than 10 percent of Ohio's original wetlands still exist, making this habitat in CVNP especially valuable to wildlife. A walk along the boardwalk often provides great bird watching opportunities, especially during summer, when it is possible to see birds at close range and in their peak breeding plumage. Watch for families of wood ducks in the water, look for tree swallows as they capture insects in mid-air, and listen for the single-pitched staccato trill of the swamp sparrow. The Beaver Marsh is accessible from the Towpath Trail between the Ira and Hunt Farm Trailheads. Source: NPS Website
