Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary
The sanctuary features a secluded
pond that harbors interesting
wildlife at different times of the
year. Have your binoculars or
spotting scope ready when you
cross the dam because it offers a
great view of the pond. Take a
walk on the one-mile trail where
you may see great blue herons,
spotted sandpipers, kingfishers,
bluebirds, otters, and mink. The
sanctuary is highlighted with
color in the summer and fall
when its orchids and wildflowers
are in bloom.
