Pella Crossing Park
Aliases: Marlatt Open Space
The Pella Crossing and Marlatt Open Space properties are located west of Longmont near the St. Vrain Creek. Both properties provide significant habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife and offer recreational opportunities, primarily in the form of fishing and trail use. The fields to the east have attracted Dickcissel and Grasshopper Sparrow in some summers. Following the trails west to the trees is a good way to find spring migrants. A colony of Great Blue Herons nests in the trees just across the river to the west.
