This is a good spot for shorebirds when the water levels are right for it. There is also a path along the reservoir that can be good for songbirds. I have found Ruffed Grouse along this trail. The trail is also good in early spring (late April +/-) for Yellow-throated Warbler and there have been Prothonotary Warblers breeding in the area (though not lately). All the regular shorebirds can be found here and I found Buff-bellied Sandpipers in the grassy areas before the mud two years in a row in (9/5/2000 and 9/1/2001).

DIRECTIONS: Take exit 4 (Route-42 Friendsville). Approximate going straight by jogging left and right again onto Blaine Frantz Road. Go about another mile and turn right at Old Morgantown Rd and follow it until it ends.
