Welcome to Moreau Lake State Park! As you follow the trail along the pond, you may be able to spot the beavers and muskrats that live in the area. Pause for a while near the pond, observe the duck blind and enjoy the natural surroundings. Bring your binoculars to the cache location – this is a true birder’s paradise. Enjoy!
