Gorgeous Cliffside Views of Lake Erie in 4k!

We walked the Massie Cliffside Preserve and it was beautiful, some of the best Cliffside views of Lake Erie I've ever seen. The water is powerful.

The destructive power of nature is on display here. And this is a tiny taste of what it could be. Lake Erie is affected by the wind, had the wind been more powerful, the lake would've been churning even more.

From the Lake Erie Conservancy Site:
This eleven acre shoreline parcel on the East Point of South Bass Island includes cliff habitat and a great dock for fishing. It was purchased with Clean Ohio Conservation Funds, Coastal Estuarine Land Conservation Program, private donations, and land owner donations in 2015.

Dedicated August of 2016, it has a trail system to link visitors from the parking lot all the way to the lake for bird-watching, walking, photography, and nature study.

Commemorative benches on the cliffs edge allow visitors to enjoy harebells, columbines, and hoptree (food for the giant swallowtail) as well as great sunsets.

From the Shores & Islands Tourism Website:
Bird watching is also a popular activity on the island all summer long. The Lake Erie Islands Conservancy provides an extensive list of both local and migratory birds you can expect to see. Some species include:

• Black-bellied Plover
• Northern Bobwhite
• Green Herson
• Pileated Woodpecker
• Crested Caracara Falcons
• Song Sparrow
• Black-throated Gray Warbler
• Horned Lark
• Tree Swallow

There are also lots of reptiles and amphibians to spy from toads to salamanders. Perhaps the most rare animal is the Lake Erie Watersnake. Sometimes referred to as LEWS, it is only found on the Lake Erie Islands. It is often found basking along rocky shores or searching for fish in the waters. This is a state-threatened species so make sure not to harm it if spotted. It is non venomous but can be curious and aggressive

We only seen birds. And Fifi spotted some squirrels and bunnies.
