Have not made the trails at this time but plan to soon.I would like to commend the staff especially Shelley Flanary for her assistance in directing me to the location of the Bald Eagles to photograph. This is a great place for Nature Lovers and we were able to locate five eagles and yes some great photographs. Dennis Waters (12/6/2010)
