About Us

The Lake Erie Islands Nature and Wildlife Center was formed by a collaboration between the Lake Erie Islands chapter of the Black Swamp  Conservancy and the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society. In 2012 we became an independent non-profit organization.


Along with being in the middle of the walleye capital of the world, the  islands are home to hundreds of species of birds and are the only place in the country where the federally threatened Lake Erie Watersnake can be found.


Utilizing our unique location we aim to provide a one of a kind ecological/educational experience for the 700,000+ visitors that come to South Bass Island each summer.
