Hi, is there any access to the 68th street wetlands as I could not find one ?
There is a parking lot on the east side of Elliston Lake on 68 Street. It is just south of the buildings you see as you go south on 68, on the west side of the road. It is used by dog-walkers a lot. From there, walk across 68 street to access the wetlands trails.
Thanks, but a sign says no trespassing and the City has a big fence around the Southern end so I still did not see an access point. I will try again !
I’ll try to find out what’s going on there.
Thanks – if birders were there recently per the posts, then there presumably must be access, but a mystery to me !
