One of my two favorite birding hot spots in Orange County, NC. This is a nice 2.0+ mile walk through varied habitats including mature and second growth riparian woodland and old fields. The birding is great at any time of year.
Really nice area and not too crowded. The North entrance has a small stream you have to drive through to get to parking area which is kind of neat.
The reserve website has a link to submit for a permit to post to your car dash. The entrance is off of the golf course road and requires crossing a waterway. Many of the paths are wide and flat with gravel and benches to take in the surroundings. Paths were lightly trafficked. No dogs or bicycles are allowed.
