The location of the nest is at the back corner of the visitor center. The park itself is a little bit off the highway, but it's worth it. Driving through the very small town was a new experience and we enjoyed it.

They've got the world's largest eagle's nest. It is part of a display about raptors -- birds of prey: eagles, hawks, falcons and owls. In addition to the eagle's nest, they've got a bald eagle, red-tailed hawk, 3 different types of owls, vulture and a falcon.
