Description

Located northwest of the small community of Elmvale, Ontario, the Tiny Marsh Provincial Wildlife Area is a "must see" for any outdoor enthusiast.
A series of trails follow the dikes through the marsh, wind through the shrubs and forest communities, and subsequently lead to observation towers and a viewing mound which provide visitors with a raised vantage point from which to view the vast array of flora and fauna which call this area home. An interpretive nature centre features displays of the marsh and some of its numerous inhabitants. The abundance and variety of wildlife at Tiny Marsh are well known to generations of both naturalists and duckhunters. Two hundred and fifty species of birds have been observed at Tiny Marsh. Ospreys nest here, as do eleven species of ducks and provincially and/or nationally rarebird species such as the Least Bittern and the Black Tern. There are also several species of rare plants that have been documented on site. Occasional visitors have included the Great Grey Owl and the Prothonatory Warbler who are both unusual visitors to the region. Hunting success at the marsh is high due to the large flocks of migrating waterfowl common to the area. The marsh is also a haven for photographers who enjoy taking pictures of birds, plants, and the beautiful scenery in general. This area is an extremely popular destination for educational institutions and interpretive groups to host programs which in turn foster an understanding and appreciation for preserving natural areas for future generations to enjoy.
