Forty Acre Rock Heritage is a misnomer as the area consists of approximately 14 acres, but the actual rock offers tremendous views of the area surrounding it. While the views are spectacular from the rock, the birding is not. For excellent birding in this park head to the beaver pond located by the lower parking lot. To access the lower parking lot, turn right onto Nature Reserve Road and drive for 1.6 miles, then turn right into the parking lot. Follow the trail from the parking lot to the beaver pond.
Best birding times are April through May and September through October.
