Old maps call this spot Gun Club Ponds, and it doesn’t take long, after walking the narrow strip between the railroad embankment and wall of Phragmites, that the gun club comes into focus.

A good place to look for waterfowl.

there’s slag here too!

a tunnel of european buckthorn leads us to the ponds.

it’s big leaf season as we head back over the tracks to the Indian Ridge Marsh parking lot.
