From the parking area, it is an easy walk to a boardwalk, which extends onto a freshwater lagoon. From an observation area, you may see a wide variety of shore birds and wading birds. For those serious birdwatchers, some possible sightings may be sandhill cranes, rosette spoonbills, and swallowtailed kites. The best time to see migratory songbirds is spring and fall. Migratory shorebirds are present during winter, spring, and fall. This is also home for a variety of animals—including alligators! Other trail options within Huntington Beach include the Marsh Boardwalk and Sandpiper Pond Nature Trail.
