Bluff Lake Nature Center

Along the Sand Creek Greenbelt, Bluff Lake Nature Center makes for an excellent place to spend a morning and check out a number of different habitats. Perhaps the best of these is a truly excellent marsh, with Virginia Rail and Sora, Marsh Wren, and maybe even American Bittern. The riparian corridor along the greenbelt is well worth checking for migrants, in season, while the lake itself often has a variety of ducks that can include Cinnamon and Blue-winged Teals, Hooded Merganser, and Canvasback, among others. Note: dogs are not allowed at this property.
