Fischer Creek Conservation Area

https://ebird.org/hotspot/L276933 

Habitat: Open Water with high bluffs overlooking Lake MIchigan, Beach, Successional Old Fields, second growth Southern Hardwood Forest, Alder/Dogwood Swamp

Best Birds: This conservation area along the Lake Michigan Migration Corridor was set aside as a bird migration stop-over.  It is one of the best Manitowoc County locations for waterfowl and passerine migration. The open fields are good for watching the fall migration of raptors.  The bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan are known as a location for finding Red-throated Loon and large numbers of Horned Grebe. A trail accessible from the north parking lot starts near the lakefront and goes north through forest and swamp. To the south the trail closely follows the lakeshore and connects with the south parking lot.

Directions: 11 miles south of the Manitowoc via County LS

Site Address and Additional Information: 

County Road LS, Cleveland

North parking lot, 43.939908, -87.720744.
