Description:
Cedar Point NWR was donated to the Service in 1964 and is closed to all other public use except fishing from June to August. The Refuge's 2,450 acres are primarily marsh. A dike system with its associated electric pumps, isolates the marsh from the adjacent Lake Erie and divides the Refuge into three pools. All pools are predominantly cattail, bulrush, and other emergent vegetation. The Refuge provides habitat for migrating waterfowl and other marsh and water birds. Up to 70 percent of the Mississippi Flyway population of black ducks can be found in the Lake Erie marshes during the fall migration. Directions:
To reach the fishing access turn north on Yondota Road off State Route 2. Yondota Road is located three miles east of the Oregon city limits or 9 miles east of I-280. Travel 2 miles north from St. Rt. 2 on Yondota. The fishing access is at the end of an approximately 1/2 mile entrance road that turns to the left of Yondota road.
