Very quiet and peaceful. Good place to decompress, watch nature, or read a book. Just around a 3 mile gravel road ride to the final location. There is an info hut and a small hut or shelter overlooking a lake, bushes, and trees. Not a good place for a hike, unless you park at the beginning and walk the 3 mile gravel road. No restrooms.

no biking, hiking, or walking trails available. simply a lookout point for a couple of lakes. still a peaceful spot to enjoy birdwatching!

Parking at end of gravel road. There is a nice pavilion for overlooking the meadow and distant ponds. I spent two hours birding the road. There are no hiking trails here. Great for birding, probably not much else.

Smelling the magnolia tree through the breeze in Davidson cemetery was amazing. Basically it's a long road that ends to a observation pier....no trails...bring binoculars for the birds.nice and quiet...will see farm in the distance. Clean and peaceful place.

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!
