Directions: From I-565 west of Huntsville take Exit 2 and travel south .1 miles to the Old AL Hwy 20. Turn right and go 0.7 miles. Turn left (south) on a gravel road and follow this road for 1.6 miles. Take the left fork at the Wheeler NWR entrance sign and travel another 0.4 miles to the landing.

Description: Located just off I-565, this site provides access to another corner of the fertile Wheeler Reservoir and the Tennessee River. Watch the open water for rafts of Lesser Scaup, Red-breasted Mergansers, Green-winged Teal, Common Loons, and perhaps some surprises. At times of low water, check the mudflats for migrant shorebirds and the shallows for wading birds such as Great Blue Heron and Great Egret. There is always the chance that you will hear the loud rattle of a Belted Kingfisher as it announces its presence and darts on by.
