Great location for this site, next to the water and good views. Have been here before and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Any questions you have they will have an answer or how to find out more. Variety of brochures for entire coast and other areas of the state. Updated with newest features and details of local events. Always a pleasure to stop here and get more information

Staff at interpretive center state the lake has good access and areas to observe birds and is also visited by tour buses for the variety of species. Good spots for those who have a mobility problem like my husband has to be able to observe birds in and around the lake. Plan on going there in the near future. Highly recommend this facility for the amount of information you can get and the pleasure...
