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.
