Stop 7: Birding
The Loblolly Marsh is an excellent place to see birds in northeast Indiana. This location on the north side of the wetland is a particularly popular place for birders because of its location between the Woodie Retreat and the large swamp.
Birding has become a popular activity throughout the nation. This pastime, once mainly associated with senior citizens, has now become popular for people of all ages. Birding provides participants with exercise, stress relief, camaraderie, and a sense of accomplishment, among many other things.
