Frederick Recreation Area
The rocky-shored Frank Milavec Memorial Lake is popular with fishermen and recreational walkers, but also with ducks, grebes, pelicans and cormorants, particularly in late fall and early spring. The lake is ringed by a gravel walking trail that affords excellent viewing at any time of day. The southeast corner of the walking trail borders a marsh that is home to Red-winged Blackbirds and rails. Paved trails also run along a tree-lined creek where Yellow Warblers and Downy Woodpeckers breed.
