Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary

 
 

The sanctuary features a secluded pond that harbors interesting wildlife at different times of the year. Have your binoculars or spotting scope ready when you are on the dam because it offers a great view of the pond. For an interesting woodland walk (1 mile) take the Sassafras Trail where you can see beaver work, look for woodland birds, see evidence of past fires and, of course, sassafras.
