The low dam destroyed some of the ecological culture of the river, as well, lining the river bottoms with mushy silt and inhibiting fish. In 2009 to promote river recreation, MetroParks removed a dangerous low-water dam on the Stillwater 80 years after it was built. Over the decades, silt choked the river upstream of the dam and reduced the park’s lake depth to less than 1 foot in places. Because of the size and diversity of the habitats here, the park has been designated by the National Audubon Society as an Important Bird Area. The Stillwater River bisects the park and contains excellent aquatic diversity. A large wetland provides outstanding bird and wildlife habitat. The park contains outstanding examples of bottomland hardwood forests (on the green trail along the river), old-growth upland forest, an oak and pumpkin ash swamp and former farmland in natural succession. The natural areas of Englewood MetroPark contain a great diversity of habitats in the valley of the Stillwater River.
