Port Glascow (creek just down hill to right of marina on Grey line
Ontario, Canada
This tributary is feeding into Lake Erie at Port Glasow. Our test site was down the hill on Grey line to right of marina. There is a cement culvert. We tested on the lake side in the left front corner. You can access by going down bank beside culvert . The left culvert hole (from below) was dry and we took our sample from the rocks about 8 ft from culvert leading into water.

There were 4 bikes and a couple tackle boxes on culvert when we arrived. I could hear kids downstream talking and coming back for their gear. 2 of the 4 kids had caught 3 fish. I helped teach 1 how to tie a fishing line and we all shared pleasant conversation .We discussed Water Rangers and Lake Erie Guardians and they were intrigued (might get some new members) I took their discarded fishing line and told them I would bring to the garbage at home so it didn't end up in water of in grass and expressed the importance of leaving things the way we found it or cleaner. They were thankful and hopefully will follow my example.
