Harris River Front Park

Directions:  Located at Huntington, WV, along Veterans Memorial Blvd. (2nd Avenue) with access at two points from 8th street to just past 10th street.

Description:  This park provides easy access to the Ohio River.  It is an excellent site in spring and fall for observing migrating water birds, such as cormorants, ducks, gulls, and terns.  This is the best site in our area to observe Purple Martin migration during August and Double-crested Cormorant migration during late summer into November.
