Dancy Quarters in Wheeler National
Wildlife Refuge, AL


Just below you as you cross the southern shore of the Tennessee River at
Interstate Highway 65, Dancy Quarters is home to Garth Slough and Susie Hole; both great
birding spots. In years past, you could drive down to Susie Hole by turning off the
boundary road, but it has since had a gate put across it as seen in the map below. Don't
worry, though; it is still easy to get to; just a little bit more walking.

Map & Directions:
From the intersection on I-65 and Hwy 67 (the I-65 Priceville exit: just east of
Decatur) go about 3/4 mile east, and turn left onto Bethel Road. Go straight for a little
over 2 miles, and you're there. If you turn left at that point, you'll eventually find
yourself back on Hickory Hill Road just off Point Mallard Parkway (Hwy 67), but there
aren't that many "stopping places". If you turn right the dirt road goes on even
further; not sure where it ends up!
