Petticoat Junction

There are some scrubby areas and tall sycamores surrounding the gravel parking lot here that have the potential to host a variety of passerine migrants as well as woodpeckers or wintering sparrows. Views of the water can produce waterfowl species like Common Merganser or a flyby Belted Kingfisher.

Accessibility: This boat ramp is open to the public from an hour before sunrise to an hour after sunset. Small watercraft, ideally canoes or kayaks, may be launched into the Jackson River from here.
