Muskrat Lake is within one quarter mile of Horseshoe Lake. This proximity provides an advantage to birders. Muskrat is easily viewed from the road paralleling its south shore. North, northwest and west winds will lap the shoreline here. (Care should be taken here not to park too close and out of view of oncoming vehicles below the low hill and to watch for two culverts at the edge of the road.)
