Sands Waterfowl Production Area — photo spot in Havre, MT 59501, USA
Sands Waterfowl Production Area
A protected prairie-wetland complex east of Havre offering marshes, cattail beds, open water and vast shortgrass prairie — prime for waterfowl, shorebirds and reflection shots. Best at dawn/dusk during spring and fall migrations for activity and warm light. Accessible via gravel service roads with limited pull-off parking; public USFWS lands typically open without permits. Expect bugs in summer and seasonal high water; bring waterproof boots and a long lens for skittish birds.
