I checked with Black Dog Plant Director, Tom Fallgren, regarding access to the refuge overlook on the west lake. Here is Tom's reply:
"They can access that area any time. No need to even call. Parking should be available by the 35w side or from the east near the plant (suggest along the guardrail by the river). When there if you need us to run a front end loader to smooth out the path let us know. Our change in flow this year with cedar gate out will likely keep the west side more open." So gull viewing from the overlook is probably the best bet for now. I will meet with Tom next week to work out details of future access to the causeway viewing area by the power plant. I'll keep everyone posted. Please don't find anything too exciting until I return from SD.
