Morgan Falls Overlook Park
Home to everything from songbirds to waterbirds, the park is a hotspot for avifauna, and birdwatchers have the chance to spy a number of species, including belted kingfishers, American goldfinches, red-tailed hawks, and even bald eagles. The slender, secluded arteries feeding Bull Sluice Lake provide the perfect opportunity to hide out and watch the river for dive-bombing osprey and Great blue heron trolling the shallows.
