VIEW FOR THE BIRDS
Bring your binoculars and take time to look around a little. Great birding hot spot.
It is not hidden in the rock wall so please don’t remove any looking for it.
East Lake 3 Park and Nature Preserve
128th Ave and Fillmore Ct, THORNTON, CO 80241
The East Lake Number 3 is a top location for bird watching in the State of Colorado. The East Lake Number 3 is profiled on the United States Geological Service (USGS) Eastlake Topological map. The East Lake Number 3 is located at the latitude and longitude coordinates of 39.924985 and -104.9488673 at an elevation of 1592 feet.
The focus of Eastlake Park, this place can be crowded with good numbers and variety of waterfowl. It also boasts a cattail marsh large enough to host any marsh-loving species. To top it all off, there is a nice patch of thick second growth cottonwoods to trap migrants. Take the time to read the signs to see what birds and animals you may see.
Like other parks in Thornton, this one has street parking only; perhaps the best parking area is along Fillmore Street north of 124th.
