Those on the north side can be accessed from the cul de sac at the west end of the dam, or from the access just off Cherokee Road near the railroad bridge. Those on the south side can be accessed from the top of the dam on the east side, or several points along the Brad Freeman Trail near the fish hatchery.

Many people enjoy watching cows. The site below identifies the access road and the paths used by cows in this area. Cow watching can be done along the access road where the cowpaths are closest to the access road. Herfords, Angus and other breeds can be seen with close observation.

WEBSITE NAVIGATION:
The upper right dialog box allows you to select/deselect layers.  For example, to see the stree map left mouse click on the satellite image, then on the apply button and the satellite image is removed to reveal the stree map.The tool names and functions can be seen by hovering your mouse over the tool icon. Tools are selected by left clicking on the tool and then on the desired map location.  Elaboration of each tool (from the upper left hand corner) helps with the navigation process.  The center tool will move the point clicked on the map to the center of the display.  The zoom in tool will center the map to the point clicked and magnify the map.  The zoom out tool will center the map to the point clicked and demagnify the map.  The  zoom box tool will display that part of the map selected by pressing and holding the left mouse button and then dragging it until the displayed box is of the desired size.  Left  clicking on the zoom to fit button will restore the map to its original size.  Data for each of the "flag" icons on the map will appear just below the map if you left click the "i" button, followed by clicking on the icon of interest.  Clicking on the URL in the data will open a photo taken at that point.  Left clicking the browser back button will return you to the map.  The photo can also be seen by double left clicking at the right speed on the icon.
