Reviews
"Handicap accessible take the tram, then up the ramp to see from the tree tops. Awesome views, lots of birds."
"Enjoyable views for birding. No water flood plan is a negative. Productive hawk sighting but generally at a distance."
"Wide open view, the resaca needs some rain though."
"It was great watching the hawks. I want to go again sometime."
"I walked out to the hawk Tower several times because I was looking for the hook-billed kite, a rare bird, early in the morning before the tram is available. The tram is the best way to get around the park for older people and the volunteers make it rather I rather pleasant way to get between places in the park."
