Anyone been to Shenk's Ferry Wildlife Preserve in Lancaster, PA?

*edit* it is WildFLOWER preserve, not wildlife, sorry :)

I bought a book a while back on parks/nature preserves/conservation areas of NE Pennsylvania, and this site seemed like a great photographic subject. It is located in Lancaster county PA, and owned by PP&L power company. It claims to have some of the best collection of wildflowers in the Eastern US. The book says it is the best time of year to go as it is the peak blooming season. If you google Shenk's Ferry you will see more info. I was just curious to know if anyone has been there and photographed, or maybe if anyone lives near there and can say if the flowers are in full bloom yet?

No, haven't been there. But I have been to a few of the other holtwood area overlooks, etc. A very nice area. There is a really neat covered bridge right by this place which I have shot several times.
