Oxbow Lake Wildlife Area is a quiet oxbow wetland offering close views of waterfowl, wading birds, marsh plants and mirror-like reflections. Best for dawn/dusk bird activity and calm-water reflections; visit during spring/fall migrations or early summer for nesting. Light is best at sunrise and golden hour; overcast days are great for even light on plumage. Small roadside parking on Schick Rd; expect unpaved paths and some muddy sections—bring insect repellent and waterproof shoes. No permits,
