Description

A wooden walkway takes you through the high reeds and out to the bird observation tower. From the tower's two observation decks, you'll have a great chance of spotting a wide range of birds. Approximately 100 different bird species nest here and many migratory birds stop here in the spring and fall. Take a break and relax at the picnic table under the tower.
