Big Otter Creek

Big Otter Creek (alternately Otter River, Big Creek) is a waterway that empties into Lake Erie at Port Burwell, Ontario.

The creek's headwaters are north of the Horseshoe Moraine, and its mouth is just west of the Long Point Conservation Area.

Most of southern Ontario was covered by Carolinian forest, characterized by large, slow-growing hardwood trees, like Oak and Beech.

Between Delhi and Lynedoch, the creek passes through a 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) long incisized valley that has stands of old growth that add up to 259.37 hectares (1.0014 sq mi) in area.
