Tips for birding Horseshoe Lake
Birding is great at Shaker Lakes, stop 23 on the Ohio Lake Erie Birding Trail. It is very accessible all around the two bigger lakes and, though it is in a residential area, there are plenty of very comfortable access point throughout the entire Shaker Lakes Park system. There are also free parking areas. The All People's Trail (APT) at the Nature Center loops through the marsh and over the wooded Doan Brook. This time of year sparrows are abundant in the newly restored marsh and the woodland understory. During spring and fall migration warblers are plentiful. Lower Shaker Lake is accessible via connecting trails from the All People's Trail at the Nature Center. You can walk around the entire lake with ease and there are trails that weave down along the shore. Sometimes they are muddy and typically more rugged. Road level paths are generally paved. There are no homes on the shore of Lower Shaker Lake. The Doan Brook Gorge beyond Lower Lake has dirt paths and there are no homes for the majority of the stretch.

From Wendy Donkin
 * Horseshoe Lake** and Southerly Park connect via trails that are accessible from the Stearns Trail, the woodland trail behind the Nature Center. Connecting trails are both footpath or paved. There are no homes around Horseshoe Lake but there are at Marshall and Green, so access there is more limited.
