Property Info

The Port Severn Wetlands is a large area of highly productive and sensitive wetland habitat that surrounds the Oak Bay development in Port Severn. It extends from the Honey Harbour Road to the southern extent of the mainland where the Trent Severn Waterway meets Severn Sound and Georgian Bay. The property includes extensive examples of coastal wetland and associated upland buffer with a mixture of young forest and open rock barren. It is part of the larger Potato Island Wetland, which is a combination of graminoid, cattail, bullrush and mixed shallow marsh types.

The Port Severn Wetlands are highly diverse, and support critical habitat for a number of bird, reptile, and fish species, including nesting and spawning grounds. They are also home to several provincially and regionally significant plants.
