A Vermont Fish and Wildlife fishing access is 0.3 mile farther. This site is half wetlands habitat, with the other half divided between northern hardwoods, swamp hardwoods, and a large stand of northern white cedar. The wetlands habitat produces numerous broods of waterfowl and has about 60 wood duck nesting boxes. A good site for canoeing. Look for wood duck and hooded merganser in the wooded swamps.
Wetlands provide prime habitat for beaver, river otter, muskrat, raccoon, and bullfrog.
Look for ruffed grouse, American woodcock, snowshoe hare, grebes, barred and great horned owl, osprey, and migrating bald and golden eagle. Red and gray fox, coyote, and bobcat are present, though difficult to see. Mosquitoes in spring and early summer. From St. Albans, travel 7 miles east on Route 36 to parking lot and canoe launch. Entry fee in summer.
