However, the views are the best in fall, when hundreds of overwintering Canada Geese can be seen from the overlook.

Canada Geese migrate twice a year. They migrate north to their breeding sites in April, May, and June. Then, in September and October, they head south to avoid the cold.
In past years, as many as 400 Canada Geese have been spotted from the overlook – and that’s in addition to upwards of 70 white-tailed deer.

A great spot for all wildlife lovers, Goose Overlook is easily accessible.
