点评:Lake Isom was the very first National Wildlife Refuge established in TN. It is a lake in the winter, then drained to be managed during the spring/summer to help with food production for waterfowl. The refuge is closed (with the exception of the viewing tower) from Nov 15-March15. A canoe trip is offered to the public soon after the refuge opens and before the lake is drained. On the canoe trip, you can easily see a variety of waterfowl. We heard and saw barred owls, pied billed grebes, hawks, bald eagles and an abundance of songbirds. This is a great place for birders, but you need to visit at the right times. Reach out to the Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge (the visitor center on the north end of the lake near Walnut Log) for more information or to sign up for the canoe trip.
