Yes, it is a great place. There are Eagles to watch even if you don't fish or duck hunt. I both hunted and fished there from the mid forties until the mid fifties.
I was aware of their protected status, but I was surprised to learn that even to pick up and keep an eagle feather that has fallen to the ground is against the law.
While I admire and respect that most noble bird, I found that to be just a bit extreme.
Growing up in Virginia as a boy, I still remember an eagle's nest at the top of a tall tree at Lake Smith.It was such a treat to see an eagle land there or take off.They are so magnificent in flight.
