Crom Lake

Aliases: Antelope Reservoir, Crom Reservoir

Crom Lake looking west.

Crom Lake is a small pond near the town of Pierce and is a reliable place to see ducks, pelicans, and herons; sometimes it hosts impressive numbers of geese or shorebirds in spring migration. The lake is on both sides of the road, and good birds can be seen on either side. The lake tends to freeze in colder months and during summer hosts fewer birds, but prairie species such as Burrowing Owl and McCown’s Longspur can sometimes be found in the surrounding area.
