Miller Creek Wildlife Area
A large map is located at the entrance of this trail. A path to the right of the map leads through an open meadow of tall grass and wildflowers to an observation platform. This platform provides a fantastic view over the wetland abundant with plant and wildlife. Various side trails take you through wooded areas and along the edge of the wetland. The walking trail, a 1 km loop, winds through a small corner of this Wildlife Area, classified as a provincially significant wetland.
Several observation points, a series of display signs along the trail, and an excellent two-level viewing tower on a side trail, help you to observe and understand the marsh and its fascinating array of wildlife.
