We have been coming here for years looking for swans. We saw some today. There is a nice viewing area here.
Stopped while driving north. Nice little park with a nice view. Port-a-potties are on site and available.
Wonderful place. Unfortunately the Tundra Swans do not come here in great numbers like they used to back in 2001 and before due to the lake having been silted from a big rain. Attempts at restoration have not been very successful.
We went back on November 23, 2019. There were a few Swans just south of the overlook, along with a few ducks and Geese. Majority of the lake in front of the overlook was frozen.
Awesome place for bird viewing. Very clean grounds. Love the paved parking pads.
However, the restroom/shower building could use some attention.
