Tips for Birding

Springton Reservoir may be viewed from Palmer's Mill Road (the road over the dam), Bishop Hollow Road, and Gradyville Road. Bring a spotting scope to view birds on the water. The south end of the dam at Palmer's Mill Road offers the widest shoulder for parking a vehicle. If your vehicle is tall enough, you may view the reservoir from inside the vehicle over the wall at the dam.
