The Gila River Indian Community Department of Environmental Quality (GRIC-DEQ) has recently announced that the MAR-5 (Gila River Interpretive Trail) site near Olberg is now open to non-community member birders as a courtesy. Current visiting hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Construction to widen and deepen the ponds is nearing completion, and they are expected to be filled within the next two weeks. Once construction is finalized and the ponds have stabilized, the site will transition to expanded hours: Thursday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. To ensure continued access, please stay on established trails and follow all posted rules; site availability may be rescinded if infractions occur. On eBird it is only alliable as a personal site.
