Local and migratory birds bring unique calls at different times of the year. You may hear woodpeckers knocking away at a nearby tree. At night, the cricket frogs in the lakes may call out with sounds similar to clicking marbles.

​Please DO NOT touch or feed the wildlife while you enjoy and observe any local creatures. We recommend keeping your tent closed and food secured to help avoid any unwanted visitors.
