Comments

Observation deck has a ramp with stopping points to rest along the expanse of it. There is a lip from concrete to the decking of 2". The boards are uneven due to age and some nails are starting to pop. These issues will be addressed in the near future. This deck gives good views nd opportunity for birding and observing frogs and other creatures native to the area.
