So beautiful and peaceful! Lo I've seeing all the different wildlife! I've even seen a very beautiful majestic wolf in full chase. And man do the squirrels have attitudes out there! Lately we've seen quite A few Bald Eagles. Lots of hawks. I feel so sorry for the migrating geese right now their magnetic field locators are way off. We keep seeing the birds go north then south then east then west then south west. They're very confused right now. Seen A snow goose today. First time ever. Also a pair of redtailed hawks flying together. And then A very massive bald eagle. A week ago I had to find the owner of a farm that a coyote was stuck in her pasture. They got him out and no animals were hurt. He was so scared.

Great place to fish. Plenty of places along the south lake to fish off the shore, not so much on the north lake at this time of the year. Boat ramp functional at South, no way to get a boat in off the north boat ramp. Caught several good size catfish, and plenty of cover for bass. There are several parking areas with trashcans and restrooms. Also pavilions onsite.
