About Squaw Bay
Squaw Bay's shallow waters provide a stopover site for large numbers of migrating shorebirds, especially late summer and early fall. Scope the bay from one of the pulloffs along Squaw Bay and look for herons and shorebirds as well as waterfowl. During periods of low water levels, you may be able to wade quite far out into the bay, as the water depth may be less than 12 inches. **Please use caution, as there may be unexpected spots of deeper water.**
