This inconspicuous location at the end of Verity Lane affords a wide view of the lake to scope for waterfowl, loons, grebes and other birds. Rarities here have included Northern Gannet, King Eider, Parasitic and Pomarine Jaegers and Purple Sandpiper.

The Agriculture Canada property at 4902 Victoria Avenue may be worth birding in the spring. A Yellow-throated Warbler, a rare bird for the Niagara Region, was sighted in the trees at the north end of the property on 15 May 1996. In the nearby Jordan Harbour, a historical record exists of Purple Gallinule found there on 11 September 1937. Two American White Pelicans were observed there on 17 November 1991 with at least one bird remaining to 13 January 1992.
