Shirleys Bay is part of a series of wetlands and uplands, and is one of the Ottawa Valley’s most diverse and undeveloped wild areas. This provincial class one wetland supports a variety of plants and animals, some of which are rare and regionally significant. The wetlands help maintain the water quality, and control the flow of the Ottawa River. Shirleys Bay is on an important bird migration route along the Ottawa River. More than 270 bird species have been seen in the Shirleys Bay area over the years.
