I love this place. Lots of area to drive around and chill out. However stay out of the brush unless you don't mind picking out a few ticks. Other than that this place is absolutely an amazing gem.

Beautiful place for family time, extremely welcoming staff, Sean, Morgan, Steve, and Jesse are outstanding. Hands down the Best CDFW refuge.

Never seen so many birds in one place. Didn't see a single piece of trash out there. Very impressed. Thanks for maintaining this area to such a high standard.

Nice staff with attention to consumers. Quiet research reservoir with some sights and flyers worth stopping by for. Great info for seasonal licensing for hunting and resources on site. Photo readiness for fowl and stuffed wildlife.

This place is wonderful so wonderful it kept my teenage nephews (ages 15 & 17) OFF THEIR CELL PHONES!! Can't beat that with a stick. They loved the visitor center and the fantastic displays and seeing the Tule Elk was a hit. Great place and educational, too, but shhh! Don't tell the kids! I will definitely be back!

There's alot to see and discover....but you need to keep your eyes open and stay still to see some of what this place has to offer!! I recommend bringing binoculars.... N lunch and drinks if you plan on a long trip.

Amazing information. I was able to call and get help from the manager Shawn Allen and he was more informative then I could have hoped for. Lots of great information about duck hunting and suggestions. Great guy.
