This little road goes past the golf course and a high, open grassy area on the north side of the road. The fenceline along the north of the road has been a great place to find Eastern Bluebirds. As the road continues towards the parking area, you start to get into more and more trees and brush. There's an area of shrubby sumac and cedars on the south side of the road that's been great for me at times, especially in fall when there's a heavy berry crop on the cedars. At the parking area, there's a trail that heads down towards the little cut-off pond area that you see in the lower-left quadrant of the aerial photo below. It's a nice little trail through forest habitat.
The photo below shows the road right as you approach the parking area. The trees on the left, with the scattered cedars, can be very good for songbirds, while the overlook from the parking lot at the end gives you a great view of the dam and Lewis & Clark Reservoir.
