Cedar Point National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Lucas County, Ohio
Cedar Point National Wildlife Refuge spans 2,630 acres of marshland divided into three pools, with the largest pool covering 2,000 acres of wetlands.
The refuge land served as a shelter in 1813 for people fleeing across frozen Lake Erie during the War of 1812 after the River Raisin Massacre.
The Cedar Point Shooting Club, owned by Cleveland industrialists, hosted President Dwight D. Eisenhower for hunting trips before donating the land in 1964.
Visitors can access 40 acres for fishing between June and August, while the remainder of the refuge maintains restricted access for wildlife protection.
The refuge contains the largest wild rice population in Ohio and two rare cottonwood dune forest communities adjacent to Lake Erie.
