Habitat: Hemlock-Hardwood Forest, Northern Hardwood Forest, and Open Water.
Best Birds: Winter Wren and Brown Creeper can be found on the path down to Demlow Lake, along with nuthatches, thrushes, and warblers. Slowly approach the canoe launch to look on the lake itself for ducks such as Common and Hooded Merganser as well as North American River Otter.
