| Directions |
| From Charlotte take I-85 North to Exit 54 - Kannapolis Parkway. |
| Follow Kannapolis Pkwy to the light at Rt. 73 [Davidson Highway]. Turn left [West] onto Rt. 73. |
| There is a small pull-off area located on Rt. 73 [Davidson Hwy.] on the right as you come up a hill. Be careful because it comes up quickly as you go up the hill and everyone else on the road wants to be going a lot faster than they should. |

| Coddle Creek Reservoir
[2] |
|
| This
restricted reservoir has proven to be a magnet
for winter waterfowl. Every winter waterfowl can
be seen here in relative large numbers including black ducks and
canvasbacks. Depending on the water level, fall shorebirds can be seen from Shimpack Rd. [2]. There are two places to view birds. The
first is overlooking
the dam on Rt. 73 [1] and the second is at the north end of the lake
from Rt. 3 and Shimpack Rd. [3]. |
DO NOT go beyond any of the trespassing signs. The area is very well monitored and you more than likely meet
the local authorities if you do. |
