St. Clair National Wildlife Area

The St. Clair National Wildlife Area encompasses 355 hectares of wetlands and marshes along the eastern shore of Lake St. Clair in Ontario.

The Canadian government established this wildlife area in 1978 to protect essential habitats, leading to its designation as a Ramsar site in 1985.

The reserve stands at the intersection of the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways, supporting seasonal migration of hundreds of thousands of birds across North America.

Visitors can access designated trails for wildlife observation, with the Bear Creek unit allowing boating activities on Bear Creek and Maxwell Drain.

The protected area maintains remnant sections of tall-grass prairie alongside wetlands, providing habitat for twenty endangered species including the eastern foxsnake.
