About this Location

Important Bird Area.

These two parks combine to make a large expanse of urban habitat with many trails to explore. Mississippi Kites have been seen soaring above the trees from higher vantage points and species more likely to be found in more remote woodlands are frequently recorded from the bike trail.

Notable Trails

Park at the pool at the end of the road and follow the Bill Riley Bike Trail towards the river for some great birding.
