This is the most dependable site in the state north of the southern tier of counties to find Black Vultures.
Perimeter of the large parking area and the mowed lawn provide easy access to riparian area trees and a variety of passerines. At low water, a sandbar is often occupied by waders and shorebirds in season.
From US 54, immediately north of the Osage River Bridge, go west on Osage River Bridge Road about 0.4 miles to the access on the left.
