Thanks to all who replied (and inquired). For those who inquired, here's what I learned: The park is up 35W, off the County Road I exit, with the parking area east of 35W on the north side of County Road I. The 2-mile trail south of County Road I is marsh and grassland, with the promise of meadowlarks, bluebirds, sparrows, and marsh birds.
One person reports there also is an entrance where county road H dead ends just east of 35W. Take 35W north to exit 28B (US 10), then turn right at the light at CR H. Park at the culdesac where H ends. Thanks, all, and happy birding this Memorial Day weekend!
