    Watched the migration of over a 1,000 Great White Fronted Geese.
    And saw this beautiful buck White Tailed deer.

    If you're just a wildlife lover you'll find something that you can enjoy, be that waterfowl, at times by the thousands, bald eagles, whitetail deer, raccoons, possums, wild turkeys & more. But if you're also a history buff, you'll get a double treat! The recovery of the steamboat Bertrand is a fascinating peek into the not so distant past... You'll spend more time than you would expect in the recovered items exhibit... And the entire experience will leave you satisfied with your $4 expenditure. Totally worth it.

    This is a very interesting place to visit if you're in to history. The items salvaged from the boat are in good shape and each time I have visited I see new things. Think they rotate the items on display. Look forward to going again.

    Nice, quiet. You can sightsee, go fishing, boating. The camping areas are nice and clean

    Wonderful place. The cliff swallows were amazing! The staff were knowledgeable and so friendly. Definitely worth a stop and walk around. The little museum was interesting.
