Hard to explain if you've never been there. 10's of thousands of snow geese in the lake and more in the air overhead. Little bit of a walk but we'll worth the effort. Be sure to stop by the visitor center.

Totally beautiful place. Absolutely worth visiting. This was some of the best fall foliage I've ever seen. The lake is beautiful. The landscape is incredible. The trails are well marked and so relaxing. The only thing I would caution is the wooden walkways (only for some potions of the trails) are very slippery when wet, but this is to be expected. But most were easy to just walk next to as well. Seriously awesome place.

A week ago our family decided to go on a hike at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Preserve in Stevens,PA. If you are looking for a nice hike to get back into nature this is a good place to do it. They have lot's of different trails to choose from. Our is the conservation trail that has fun facts about different trees and plant life as well as some amazing views. I highly recommend this hike for families especially with younger children.

Love taking the kids to the creek here on hot summer days. Lots of trees provide plenty of shade and there is beautiful wildlife all over. Can't wait till they are old enough to Kayak on the lake!

While passing through the tour road we noticed a new bird house in the field. It is a light tan color with an oval shaped entrance port and a door next to it. There is a platform in front of them. Any idea what type of bird this is designed for ?
