Lauderdale County Wildlife Observation Tower, Tennessee, United States
4.0 (2 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Halls Observation Decks & Towers
Great place for winter time waterfowl viewing.
Located just north of Halls, TN, on Tenn. Hwy. 210, is a 30 foot-high, enclosed wildlife observation tower. This is a great winter time waterfowl observation area. The tower overlooks man-made waterfowl impounds, located along the edge of the Forked Deer River. Here in the winter, ducks and geese by the thousands can normally be seen, especially in December and January. The tower allows for upclose viewing out of the weather. But even the embankment leading to the tower, and the tower steps themselves, provide great viewing areas, allowing you to take in the sounds of ducks and geese on the water. And if you are lucky, there is nothing like watching hundreds, if not thousands of these birds come in, or take off at once. The tower itself needs repair. The windows are in need of cleaning, the heater no longer works, nor do any of the microphones or lighted waterfowl ID photos. There is no admission to the tower, and it is usually open from mid-November thru mid-March.

Perfect View
My friend loves to duck hunt, so while riding one day, I took her to the Lauderdale County Wildlife Observation Tower. We climbed the steps to the tower, and were very thankful that the door was unlocked so we could enter. It was very cold outside. The view on the East side is of land which was covered in water and ducks were everywhere! We watched them fly in and out for quite some time. A train came down the track while we were there which was a treat to watch from "up high". This is a nice place to take your children to show them nature.
