Nee Gronde Reservoir (Queens State Wildlife Area)

This is large reservoir that can be quite productive, especially in winter, when huge flocks of geese and large numbers of Bald Eagles can congregate here. A trail leads down to a viewing blind at Mud Lake to the northeast with interpretive signage. Other wildlife in the area include pronghorn, white-tailed deer, rabbits, foxes, and snakes and other reptiles.
