Cash Lake Trail – (2.3 km/1.4 mi.) travels along the edge of Cash Lake, the largest impoundment at

Patuxent Research Refuge. This trail offers many opportunities to view the lake and its waterfowl.

Bring binoculars along with your keen eyesight and hearing! (If you don’t own a pair of binoculars, you can borrow a pair from Patuxent)

Birds will be identified by their physical features and also by their songs, chirps and calls.
