lauderdale county wildlife observation tower

Located just north of Halls, TN, on Tenn. Hwy. 210, is a 30 foot-high, enclosed wildlife observation tower. This is a great winter time waterfowl observation area. The tower overlooks man-made waterfowl impounds, located along the edge of the Forked Deer River. Here in the winter, ducks and geese by the thousands can normally be seen, especially in December and January. The tower allows for upclose viewing out of the weather. But even the embankment leading to the tower, and the tower steps themselves, provide great viewing areas, allowing you to take in the sounds of ducks and geese on the water. And if you are lucky, there is nothing like watching hundreds, if not thousands of these birds come in, or take off at once. The tower itself needs repair. The windows are in need of cleaning, the heater no longer works, nor do any of the microphones or lighted waterfowl ID photos. There is no admission to the tower, and it is usually open from mid-November thru mid-March.
