Indian and Celina Lakes Watchable Wildlife Sites

Woodland songbirds are common in this area. Winter viewing is especially good in the pine plantations. There is a high probability of seeing deer along the roads and trails, and beside the lakes in early morning. Hawks and turkey vultures are often seen soaring above the lakes. Bald egles and osprey are seen occasionally perched in shoreline trees during winter. Hike the trails in April and May to see an abundance of spring wildflowers.

The 12 mile Two Lakes Loop Hiking Trail traverses the area.
