This is a great place to get out and enjoy nature and a great spot for birdwatching. There is a 1.25-mile paved exercise trail. Or you can walk the 3500-foot long boardwalk and climb the observation tower for some amazing views. Canoes and kayaks are also available to rent on-site. Great spot for photoshoots.
