Cycling

Blackwell's McKee Marsh is located just north of Mack Road and is a haven for avid birdwatchers. At this location, near the water's edge, there is a viewing platform that gives you the opportunity to watch the wetland species up close. There are a variety of species you could spot here, including blue herons, wood ducks, blue-winged teals, and sandpipers. It is simply a paradise for our feathered friends, no matter what the season.
