Marl Bed Flats

Event Description

Leader: Joan Tague 386-871-6049

This is a strenuous hike through a beautiful oak hammock opening into a large flood plain along the shores of Lake Jessup. This location can get quite wet and proper footwear is a must. Warblers, woodpeckers and other forest birds are found in the hammock while the floodplain offers shorebirds and raptors and maybe some wintering sparrows.

Pack a lunch for a quick picnic at the Lake Jesup boat launch on South Sanford Avenue

Meet at 7:30AM for Carpooling to the site
