BLACK FRIDAY ESCAPE at Clinton State Park

While some are searching for great buys in the stores we will take advantage of free entrance to the Clinton State Park. Meet at the Clinton Lake Visitor’s Center (872 N. 1402 Rd) parking lot. This is north of the dam, just south of the RV and boat storage. There are many pine trees in the area and we will search for crossbills while waiting for others to arrive. When everyone has arrived we will go to the marina first to look for wintering ducks, gulls, possibly loons and grebes. From the marina we will return to the main road and head west, perhaps stopping along the way but eventually ending up at the far west boat ramp. This is an excellent place for more wintering ducks, loons, and grebes, and occasionally gulls.
