It's very "side of the road" with a small parking lot. No bathrooms, picnic shelters, or benches, but there is a very nice observation deck to bird watch, which is the main attraction point. The wetlands are beautiful with glimpses of Grand Lake in the distance through the trees. There are absolutely tons of waterfowl to observe and watch.

Beautiful place to watch birds, have a small picnic, or snap a few pics. Public use is limited to the parking lot and viewing platform - all other areas are off limits and marked with no trespassing signs. No benches, restrooms, or other facilities.

This place could be great, they just don’t want you here. It’s basically the observation deck and nothing else. There’s what looks like a trail, but with signs all around it saying no trespassing. The view you do get is gorgeous.

It’s an awesome place to view wildlife, especially from the observation deck! From Whitetail Deer to Warblers and Eagles if you like to view the wonders of nature this is the place to go. Very accessible and a good way to relax!

Great place to view the wildlife of the area. No trails or any walking paths so its strictly an observation area. Seems like a great area to go bird watching.

Great little spot to watch wild life. Seen a couple bald eagles flying around. Very peaceful

Great pond. Could see lots of birds. The Eagles are down a gravel road and it's posted no trespassing. Disappointing

There are plenty of subjects there to catch on a camera
