Honker Cove Waterfowl Refuge Located in the City of Trimble off 208th street, although it is open to the public there is a season it is closed – October 15 to January 31. Many species of duck and geese winter there. Around the lake are American Eagles who nest annually. Depending on the migration season you never know what type of bird you may see.
