  • Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (Including the Darby and Navarre Divisions) profile page

  • Cedar Point National Wildlife Refuge profile page

  • West Sister Island National Wildlife Refuge profile page

  • Schoonover Waterfowl Production Area

With over 9,000 acres, these refuges help to preserve the diminishing Lake Erie marshes and provide a resting and feeding place for birds traveling to their nesting or wintering grounds.
