The Kennedy Impoundment unit is located south of the bridge over the lake, south of Lake-
point State Park; there is a dirt access road off to the east of US 431. Park here and walk along
the dike to get views of ponds, fields, and the lake. Various egrets, great blue heron, kingfish-
er, and waterfowl can be seen in this area. Around the parking area in spring and summer,
check the Spanish-moss-draped oak trees for northern parula warbler.
