Scheeff East Point Preserve Park, at the end of State Route 357 on South Bass Island, is a popular summertime turnaround, nature hike, and kyak spot. It is currently closed during construction to restore the Scheeff East Point Preserve shoreline, which has experienced severe coastal erosion resulting in significant land and habitat loss. The Park District and its contractors will implement a nature-based restoration project to stabilize the eroding shoreline with natural materials, while also improving habitat for a variety of fish, bird and other native species.
Updates regarding the park and road closure timeframes will be located on the Park District webpage, which is www.putinbayparks.com. Images from the scene as of 10 April 2024 are below.
