Wildhorse Lake Overlook overview
Wildhorse Lake Overlook
Besides offering a scenic view, the Wildhorse Lake Overlook is a great place for birdwatching. The Alvord Lake watershed is home to a diverse range of bird species, including raptors, shorebirds, and songbirds. Visitors can spot the American kestrel, prairie falcon, and golden eagle among the raptors. The willet, sandhill crane, and black-necked stilt are some of the shorebirds that can be seen around the lake.

The serene environment, coupled with the breathtaking views, make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the region.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
