    Beautiful bird watching experience, don't be afraid to drive very slow, and park every chance you get. Also, make sure you come at the right time of year for the birds you want to see.

    Enjoyed seeing the water fowl, the enjoyment was reduced considerably because of terrible gravel road conditions. Washboard road is really hard on your vehicle. Makes it very unpleasant.
