Tips for birding Miller Road Park
From Ohio Ornithological Society website From Lake Erie Birding Trail website

Miller Road Park is adjacent to the Avon Lake Power Plant. The warm water outflow of the power plant is visible from the park and provides good views of birds that gather in the winter to feed on fish in the outflow. Both the bluff overlooking the lake and the fishing pier provide good bird watching vantage points in all seasons.

The hotspot on the Jetty may be used for stationary counts of lake passage independent of park habitat. From Ken Ostermiller

About Miller Road Park
Miller Road Park and beach pack a lot into its 14.7 acres. Located on the west end of Avon Lake on the bike-friendly Lake Road (US-6), the park is many things to many people.

On top of a tree-lined bluff is a large park with two gazebos, a playground, bathrooms and wide open areas suitable for children to run loose. Visitors can walk along a lakeside paved trail or sit on one of several newer benches and look out over Lake Erie. A long fishing pier is open year-round and is a popular place for fishing, walking and watching boaters.

Picnic tables and grills are available making the destination a popular spot for family gatherings or a day at the beach. The park also includes a drinking fountain, bathrooms, and drink machines.

Miller Road Park is heavily utilized by Lake Erie boaters. A well-maintained boat launch is in use spring, summer and fall. There is ample parking for visitors and designated parking spaces for vehicles and trailers. John's Bait and Tackle is nearby.

There is a designated swimming area, but no lifeguards. It is imperative to stay within the swimming area as strong, life-threatening undertows exist near the power plant. The water off the beach is a popular destination for jet skiers, wake boarders, and small boats, so care by all parties should be taken. From Miller Road Park webpage
