If you have never been in what we call the "backwaters", enter by
either Soehnien or Kaylor roads (see map). The area is a good mix of
marsh, conifer / deciduous woodland and field. The Beach City Dam
area is located directly off of 250. At the moment it is closed to
traffic while they do extensive road work within.  I'm really excited
to return and spend some time here. There were a lot more birds
around than I had the time to ID.
