#WILD ANIMAL SAFARI ALABAMA WINDOWS#

There are many different types of land which attracts lots of different birds. We picked up a map of the wildlife drive at the visitor center. Watchable wildlife and ecotourism is a thing! With an underused resort state park right next door, this could be a jewel in Eufaula's crown. Maintain the trail, clean up the signage, advertise this treasure a bit. But there's no interpretive center per se.įor Eufaula, Chamber of Commerce, and Economic Development Board find ways to help the feds clean up a bit. The headquarters is worth a quick stop to see taxidermied animals and pick up some guides. It's managed by the US Fish and wildlife service. Talking to one, both of us were surprised at the amazing biodiversity represented here! Egrets, ibises, hawks, eagles, gators, coyotes.and fox squirrels the size of small dogs! Over 11,000 acres that include land on both sides of the Chattahoochee River. Have I been coming here for a decade and just now finding this place? I passed two other cars in 4 hours. Interpretive signs were mostly weathered and cobweb covered. The infrastructure was not well cared for. Keep your eyes open on the gravel for Killdeer, who sometimes lay their eggs right in the middle of the road.įor a struggling community and economy, this is the best-kept secret they should leverage. And pause at the pump stations to look for alligators. Stop at the observation towers to look over the landscape, take in the birds and wildflowers.

Then take the Wildlife Drive slowly with the windows open. If you're a hiker, brave the overgrown trailhead for the Nature Trail. My recommendation for you is to pack lots of water, food, and a great quality set of binoculars.
