Hodges Village Dam, a 1,200-acre USACE property with forests, wetlands, and ponds, provides habitat for an abundance of permanent-resident species. In mid-September, it is an excellent location for sparrows and migrating warblers. We will walk 2 to 3 miles on the cart road and wooded trails with relatively flat terrain.
Directions: On I-395 South, take Exit 7B (Oxford). Merge onto Sutton Ave., and continue through the traffic light onto Charlton St. In 0.5 mile, turn right on Howarth Rd., and turn right to the entrance of the Dam. Meet at the main parking area, 30 Howarth Rd., Oxford.
