This observation deck is located at Pheasant Branch Springs just south of Pheasant Branch Hill.

Situated at the southern base of Frederick’s Hill, this wooden platform sits directly above the natural bubbling freshwater springs. Visitors can pause to hear the soothing rush of water, watch clear streams flow into the marsh, and look for local amphibians and cold-water aquatic life.
