Directions: From the junction of CR 14 and CR 1, just east of the town of Waterloo, go 1.5 miles north on CR 1 to a TVA picnic area along the lakeshore on the left.

Description: The town of Waterloo sits a few miles west of the natchez Trace Parkway in northwestern Alabama. The area is renowned for its concentration of Bald Eagles that congregate here in the winter months. Sightings of half a dozen eagles are quite common, and at times over twenty have been seen on a single gravel bank! The eagles also nest in the area, so while they can be seen year-round, their concentrations are most impressive in the winter. Winter is also the best time for viewing waterfowl. All three species of mergansers occur regularly, with red-breasted being the most numerous. During spring and summer, listen for woodland species along the lake edge.
