Description
One mile of riparian woodlands surrounds a streambed accessible via a paved streamside trail. Beyond the riparian corridor, slopes are covered with mixed deciduous forest; however, the stream is a focal point of bird activity. This park is a favorite spot for enjoying spring migrants, including northem parula, blackpoll, black and white, black-throated green warblers; Louisiana Waterthrush and at least five species of thrushes. The fall migration provides ample viewing as well.
