DirectionsHabitat and Birds
A wide gravel path takes you around two small lakes surrounded by willows and some cattails, with a second path continuing north through a grassy meadow and ash woods. The ponds host waterfowl year round. Warblers can be seen in the willows in spring, while the meadow hosts sparrows and the woods are good for thrushes, wrens and vireos.
