Magical place and wildlife to observe specifically in the winter. Predatory owls on the hunt every dusk/sunset. An amazing experience. FREE but donations recommended. Great parking and handicap/wheelchair accessible with elevated viewing platforms that have just ramps for access so wheelchairs walking sticks and walkers are encouraged and welcomed. Great place for handicapped folks to experience some beautiful wildlife. I love this place and I love that it's so accessable for the handicapped. Well worth the time and effort to bring your loved ones. Almost Guaranteed to see the owls hunting at every sunset. Bring some cheap binocs or a camera with a decent zoom otherwise you may get lucky if your sit and be still so an owl will grace you with it's presence and a close up fly by. Hope to see...

I can't wait to go back again to see the meadow larks!
Of note, I haven't been here on a weekend during SEO season, but I've heard that parking can be...
