About Mallard Club Marsh Wildlife Area
The 402-acre Mallard Club Marsh State Wildlife Area is geared for hunting, fishing, and trapping. The area is sectioned into six marshlands separated by dikes and managed to provide wetland vegetation that sustains a variety of wildlife. The marsh has a pocket of wooded land on the property’s western extent. The wildlife area is bounded to the west by Maumee Bay State Park and to the east and northeast by Cedar Point National Wildlife Refuge. A small portion of the marsh touches Maumee Bay.

The northern portion of Mallard Club Marsh was originally a private duck hunting club for which it is named. In 1974, the area was purchased by Ohio Department of Natural Resources and in 1992 acquired by the Division of Wildlife. In 1994, cropland areas were rehabilitated to a wetland environment through dike renovation, installation of pumps and development of water supply channels for water level management.

Dirt and grass trails atop the dikes lead to prime hunting, fishing, and wildlife viewing sites. More than 300 bird species frequent the area including waterfowl such as mallards, black ducks, wood ducks, and blue- and green-winged teal, and bald eagles, shorebirds, and songbirds. Waterfowl hunting is popular during established seasons. Trapping is permitted; muskrats, raccoon, and mink are common.

Mallard Club Marsh State Wildlife Area has three gravel parking lots along Cedar Point Road. From Mallard Club Marsh Wildlife Area webpage
