Circle back over the overpass for about 500 metres then take any of the next three or four roads to the right into the park. Hudson's Bay Slough A quiet backwater minutes from downtown. Good place for ducks such as mallards, bufflehead and scaup. Red-winged Blackbirds sing from the cattails on the north side of the slough.
