Portrack Marsh Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom.
The 50-acre reserve lies between the Tees Barrage and Tees Viaduct, containing wetlands, ponds, and marshes along the northern bank of River Tees.
The reserve occupies land within a former River Tees meander, which was altered in 1830 through the creation of Portrack Cut to improve river navigation.
The site functions as an educational center where students and researchers study wetland ecosystems and observe 153 recorded bird species throughout the year.
Visitors can access the reserve through compact aggregate paths and a tarmac cycleway, with free parking available at the car park off Whitewater Way.
The reserve represents the final remaining wetland on the lower Tees, featuring specialized projects like the introduction of weevils to control invasive pond vegetation.
