Baskett Slough NWR

After months of closure the refuge is open again starting April 1st .  We will begin our hike at the small gravel parking lot on Coville Rd and begin by following the path through an oak forest to the inter-tie trail leading down to Morgan Lake and around Moffiti Marsh where we will be sure to see a variety of birds. We will return on the Inter-tie trail to complete our loop up to the Baskett Butte Observation deck where we can eat lunch or have a snack while taking in the lovely view. In this area we will be treated to an array of wildflowers and possibly see Meadowlarks. Bring binoculars (optional), wear boots (could be quite muddy) bring water and a lunch or snack.
