7... Searching for Dugway - To The Lake

Searching for Dugway - To The Lake, the seventh and final segment of an exploration of an urban waterway, Dugway Brook, which flows through the eastside of Cleveland, almost unobserved. Finally, Dugway's branches come together and flow into Lake Erie, in Bratenahl, but can we see this with our eyes?

See ( http://www.gcbl.org/water/rivers/dugway-brook/dugway-brook-videos ) for a page of links to this video and the others.

NOTE: Info from after the video was completed: In May 2009, the estuary portion of Dugway Brook, from Lake Shore Blvd. to Lake Erie, was purchased the state (ODNR) for several million dollars and is now a 19.5 acre bird sanctuary, consisting of the 100 year floodplain of the brook, the brook itself, and a stand of old growth trees. This is a project with the Western Reserve Land Conservancy.
