What better place to watch for birds than the small parking area overlooking Goose Island! Information is available about the birds that one might see as well as two viewing scopes to make focusing on them easier. Such waterfowl as American White Pelicans, Snow Geese, Tundra Swans, and Great Egrets are highlighted on one sign while another informative explanation is given distinguishing diving ducks from dabbling ducks. This overlook is the perfect place to take a break from driving and to spend a little time watching for our feathered friends. It is located along the Great River Road just south of LaCrosse.
