Falls Lake Railroad trestle — South end

Another spot for upper Falls Lake shorebirding is off Redwood Rd, which when coming from Durham is the last exit before crossing Falls Lake. After taking the exit, turn right and go about 1/2 mile until the road takes a sharp left turn. Park here. There is a white fence just to your left. Take a well-worn path that leads through the hedge on the north end of this small parking area. Shortly you'll come to a single set of RR tracks. Turn right and walk about 1/2 mile until you approach a trestle. The mud flats are on your right. Fishermen frequent this spot.
