5 /5 Carol Ann Jason: Lake Morton was a pleasant surprise on our visit to the area. We found it by accident; however, we were so happy that we parked and walked along the lake. While there we saw an incredible number of waterfowl including large Pelicans, different varieties of Swans, Egrets, Herons, and other beautiful birds. We are bird watchers and Lake Morton is a bird enthusiasts paradise. We were able to get within inches of nesting swans and other birds.
