Harris Neck NWR

Howdee all,

After a rather uneventful two nights in Savannah in a Walmart Parking lot..(Jeff was sick with Vertigo) We did do a quick tour of Tybee and Skidaway Islands.

We spent the last two nights at Macintosh Lake RV park near Harris Neck NWR.

A fellow blogger, Lydia from Costal Georgia Birding suggested we see Harris Neck NWR and a facebook friend and part time Park ranger also said she liked the park. So we went to check it out.

Our campsite overlooking the lake.harris neck nwr_001 (1) When we got settled into our RV site we decided to take a drive thru the park.

The park has a four mile loop road thru the park.

If you had a bike there are many other trails to wander.
