"Great place to stop and take a quick walk or longer one if you like to get in some miles and steps from a farther away point… The construction on the roundabout has finished and there’s a cool set of new shops and restaurants called the Post across the street… Perfect for a visit to both you can watch the ducks park your car in the slightly updated parking lot, which is small but adequate and there is street parking. The paths and signage have been improved and it makes for a nice way to track over to East Beach or farther on the bike and walking path.. There are no tickets required. This is a public space."

"A hidden gem for bird enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, the Andree Clark Bird Refuge offers a peaceful escape just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. This 42-acre saltwater marsh might not look like much from the road, but it's a vital stopover on the Pacific Flyway and home to over 200 species of birds.

The walking path around the lake provides scenic views and plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting.

What I loved most was the tranquil atmosphere, especially in the early morning when the light is perfect for photography and the birds are most active. The benches scattered along the path offer perfect spots for quiet contemplation or bird watching."

"Was excited to come here and walk about. Did see several wayer bird species and turtles. But the smell was nauseating, maybe if i walked the other side i would have been upwind. Also a pair of really creepy guys lurking under a tree with their clothes hanging on a rope. Hope they weren't swimming in that murk! Anyway walked on and came to a locked fence. Was hoping to be able to hike around the lake but no luck. Had to backtrack. 😞 past the creepies who stared at me the whole time. Was so disappointed. Looks like at one time this was a lovely place."
