Directions to Kays Creek

To answer Glenn Barlow's query, as you travel northbound on I-15, take 
the first Layton exit. It's Exit 332 on my map, but I believe the number 
is now Exit 329 with the new freeway numbering system. Travel straight 
through the first traffic light. You will be northbound on Fort Lane 
Road. The next traffic light will be Gentile Street, which is the main 
drag east-west through old downtown Layton. Turn left (west) here and 
proceed for a block to the next street (Wasatch Drive) and turn right 
(north) here. Drive a block to Hawthorne St, turn left and park on the 
road. You'll see the path that leads down to the pond. 

The coordinates are:

N 41* 3.808
W 111* 57.683

I thank Kris Purdy for directing me last year to this great little spot. 
I've found it very reliable in January for finding American Crows, Wood 
Ducks, a banded Trumpeter Swan (was there last year too), and various 
exotic waterfowl. These include Egyptian Goose, Bar-headed Goose, and 
Black Swan. It's a veritable petting zoo! As with any municipal park, 
the Canada Geese, Mallards, and R-B Gulls far outnumber any other 
species of interest. Watch where you step ;-)
