Cant get of trial or outsite parking lot but two big ponds. Bring you binoculars. Lots of birds. Stop at the Davidson cemetery on the way across from Rural Hill for a bit of history.

Not really worth the drive unless you are really into bird watching. The area is well maintained with ample parking and shaded viewing areas.

A long winding dirt road leads to a small observation deck. Too many trees. Too many birds. Too quiet, except for all those noisy toads. I love it!
