Tips for birding Springs Environmental Study Area
This is a nice spot to visit for an introduction to the White Mountains, as a fairly even 1/2-mile loop trail passes through pine forest, wet meadow, and riparian/pond habitats. Connecting trails lead to Woodland Lake Park and Walnut Creek. The pine forest has both Acorn and Lewis's Woodpeckers. Look for Bald Eagles, Osprey, rails, and waterfowl on Big Springs Pond.

About Big Springs Environmental Study Area
The Big Springs Environmental Study Area is 40 acres of natural open space located within the town limits of Pinetop-Lakeside. The hustle and bustle of town are forgotten as you step into the trees that overlook the area’s meadow.

Big Springs was developed as an outdoor study area and recreation site for use by local schools, the community, and visitors to the White Mountains. The residents of Pinetop-Lakeside have conserved the site as a natural area to promote environmental education programs for students and the public.

Visitors to Big Springs become aware and appreciative of the rich natural history of the White Mountains and Mogollon Rim. Several partners worked together to make it inviting for learning, recreating, or just relaxing. From Big Springs Environmental Study Area webpage
