Reviews
tripadvisorDidn't know quite what to expect from this rookery. It had just reopened after being closed for raising the chicks. There a structure for nests in the middle of the lake. Few herons, but a bald eagle and several egrets. The walk around was nice, much of it paved and easily traversible.
MoreThis is only open certain months, so check online before making plans to go. There is a path that leads you back to where you can see the herons from the shore.
MoreOnce a rookery, now polluted and barren. Yes some birds still visit but not even the Cormorants stay because the water has become so polluted from goose excrement and other bird waste. Fish can't live in the acidic water. Birds that eat fish have no reason to stay.
MoreThis is such a great place to kick back and enjoy beautiful nature and quiet scenery. Visit as often as you can.
MoreIf you want a quiet place to see some wonderful birds, this is it. The walking trails are maintained and you can watch the cranes swoop in without disturbing them. We like to take binoculars to check out the small island inhabitants.
