Marianne Williams Park is a 72-acre park featuring paved walking paths along a variety of habitats, including 2 large ponds, and is part of the Idaho Birding Trail. Some of the most prevalent spring birds here are ducks, warblers, blackbirds, cormorants, and herons. If we’re lucky, we may spot a rail!
