Went for a ride but didn't really know where I wanted to go. While wandering, I was going to take a different route to the Finger Lakes region when I realized I was passing this place. I haven't been here in over 30 years so decided to stop in. What I remembered were a lot of boards placed on the muddy ground, what a difference! The only issue I had was that I forgot to turn the ISO up until about halfway around the lake. This means that many pictures didn't come out well, but I did manage some nice ones...

Site Notes: The visitor center is accessible with views of some very busy bird feeders. The lake trail is accessible if your cart can handle a little rough terrain.
