I think it would be good to suggest a plan to the Geauga County Park system.
Perhaps someone knowledgeable about these things can determine the closest
distance without putting the birds on alert and then develop a plan for a
path and perhaps also a viewing platform to see the birds and not be too
close as to bother them.  The path would likely need to come off one of the
main paths and be accessible from the parking lot.  I am no expert but to me
a platform  up on the dam near the middle should give good viewing.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Frohring Meadows, Geauga Co - Viewing Options

A short time ago I contacted the Geauga County Parks about some nature
question. After I told them how much I appreciated having that park,
including the new wetlands, I also suggested a small platform along the
trail near the new wetlands. They said they were considering additions to
that area. I told them that I often thought of taking a small step ladder or
stepstool so I could see better from the path. Another option I was found
was to go to the path near the power line corridor where you can look
downhill at the new wetlands from a higher vantage point. I could see better
with my binoculars from that area. I'll bet a scope would give you a very
good view from that area.
