I haven't had a chance to get down there, but... I suggest that for a good view of the birds you go to the next drive way to the west. This is actually the first driveway on the south side of road (CR88) driving east from Hwy 56. You will see the orange hazard fencing and a Dakota Co. Parks sign. While we do not have permission to park by the gate (it is not county land outside the gate), they will not be concerned with your car being parked by the gate as long as you do not block access or interfere with potential (not likely) train traffic. You can then walk down through fields and get great veiws of shorebirds. Bird watchers have permission to use this area.
