Further Insights
Distillery Road is
a nice place. I go there alot cause its very close to where I live. The prairie is pretty big and
they recently tore out a bunch of invasive trees and planted prairie plants in place of them. It drastically
changed the way the place looks. By the parking lot used to be forest and now it is very open. I have seen
some nice fish caught in the area as well.
