best place to go camping. You can crank your music without being interrupted. you have to be careful because there are leaches. Its really hard to catch fish as well

A nice summer visit to Crane Prarie Reservoir during Osprey nesting season is super fun,but bring the Mosquito Repellent, cause you have water, warmth, swampy areas and everything just perfect for Fish, Opsrey, Frogs and Bugs! The reason Osprey Point is so beloved by the Feathery Birds Of Prey is the presence of a forest of Dead Trees! Birds love... More

Will be back with a... More

A wide variety of interesting birds when we were there. Not a lot of good... More
