A small desert reservoir in the middle of nowhere; however, in recent years it has been one of the few spots in Mesa County to find a migrating shorebird, particularly in the spring. In many years it is dry or almost dry by fall. Burrowing Owls can be a bonus for the area around the reservoir and along nearby 2.8 Road.
Habitat: Pond, Sagebrush
Directions: From Mack, drive west four miles on old Highway 6 and 50. A dirt road to the left leads to the reservoir in one quarter-mile. The water is visible from the highway.
