The Big Otter Creek (alternately Otter River, Big Creek) is a waterway that empties into Lake Erie at Port Burwell, Ontario.[1] It is 42 kilometres long, and its watershed covers 259.37 hectares. The creek's headwaters are north of the Horseshoe Moraine, and its mouth is just west of the Long Point Conservation Area. Scenic bluffs line the valley as it passes through the moraine.

Carolinian forest

Most of southern Ontario was covered by Carolinian forest, characterized by large, slow-growing hardwood trees, like Oak and Beech, most of which has not survived to the present day. Substantial portions of the watershed of Big Otter Creek remain undeveloped.[1]
