> This small pull-off is on the left side of the road, where the guard rail ends. It is large enough for several cars. After parking, do not cross the street but start walking into the woods back toward the bridge. Enter the woods at the west end of the parking area, the end near the guard rail and in the direction of the bridge. Try to stay on the trail, which loops around; if you go along the water you'll end up bushwhacking through phragmites. 

> There will be a good vantage point fairly early on where the trail is close to the water. The better viewing is from "the bucket", so-named for a bucket tacked up on a tree. It's on a small promontory slightly downhill from the woods. Proceed cautiously as birds may flush.
