This spot has been massively developed recently. I've included a labeled
map with some of the remaining spots you can check out.
1. The Harbor Center - public parking and you can walk around their
grounds to look for birds in the pond, which is surprising good for the
area.
2. The fields - not really public, but easy roadside birding and nothing
here. will likely soon be developed, but have been decent for migrating
shorebirds in the past
3. The canals - You can park and walk along the road to bird, but it's
noisy from the interstate. The canals sometimes have BCNH, which is nice.
4. The lakefront - there is a tiny piece of lakefront that's still
publicly accessible here. Maybe the only place in Slidell that it is. There
is a fishing pier that previously charged for access, but you can still
park and access pieces of empty lakefront here.
5. The big ponds - nowhere to park, but sometimes good ducks. Much less
access year by year.
6. The neighborhood pond - a big curb to park on and lots of ducks
congregate in this cove. Have to drive through the neighborhood to get
here, but the neighborhood is open access.
