Huntington North Reservoir, Huntington
http://www.recreation.gov/detail.cfm?ID=1187
http://parks.state.ut.us/parks/www1/hunt.htm
Description: This 240 acre reservoir is a haven for waterfowl since much of this region is quite dry. The Huntington State Park is situated on
the southwest end of the reservoir but better viewing can be had by driving a quarter mile past the park entrance and walking
along a shoreline road where access is permitted only on foot.
Location: The reservoir is about 2 miles north of Huntington on Highway 10. The road past the State Park is paved and off-road parking
is available at the shoreline road. Restrooms are available in the park but there is a charge for entry.
Sightings: Site visited March 18, 2000 at 10:30 am. We saw Ring-billed Gull, Lesser
Scaup, Canada Goose, Common Merganser,
Common Goldeneye, American Coot, American Widgeon, Gadwall, Pied-billed Grebe, Black-billed Magpie and a Golden
Eagle.
