Bauer Lake

This is a private lake, but you can view it from both the east and the west sides from county roads. Be careful of local traffic. The lake is often well worth a visit, as in the spring and fall it can be full of waterbirds including ducks, grebes, and coots. Occasionally a Bald Eagle might be seen flying over the water. Watch for mule deer in the area.
