DirectionsHabitat and Birds
This access point is on the north side of the Meadowlark Prairie wetlands. If you walk west on the path, you will get to the picnic shelter on Green Hill Rd. You can also walk east from here to the southern end of the complex, where there are more trees and Yellow-breasted Chats are more likely.
