    Discover the wildlife living in a man-made
    preserve, right in the heart of Cleveland!



     



    The 88-acre, former dredge disposal site has
    evolved into a premiere site for spotting wildlife along Lake Erie.
    Experience the nature haven at a fall open house, "Nature in
    the Neighborhood," on Saturday, September 25 between 7:30 a.m.
    and 2 p.m. at Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve (formerly known
    as Dike 14). Cleveland Metroparks is sponsoring the event.



     



    Visitors can come early for guided hikes, or walk on their own.
    Naturalists will be at the Preserve to answer questions.



     



    Learn about the dredging from the bottom of the
    CuyahogaRiver that took place from 1979 to 1999. Then, learn about
    the over 280 identified species of birds, 26 species of native
    plants, 16 species of mammals (red fox, coyote, mink, deer,) nine
    species of trees and shrubs, and two species of reptiles that now
    live there!



     



    The Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve is
    located at the northern end of Martin Luther King Boulevard, off
    I-90.



     



    Visitors can park at Gordon Park Marina.
    Entrances are at North Marginal Road at E. 72nd Street, from North
    Marginal Road between E. 72nd and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, and
    ClevelandLake front State Park entrance from Lakeshore Boulevard,
    east of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
