The Feather
The Feather is an observation platform overlooking a wetland on Leo’s Landing within the peninsula. This is a great location to view shore birds, waterfowl, and many native aquatic plants. This platform was once destroyed by the only recorded tornado (F0-scale) on the peninsula. The platform was rebuilt, where you can now find an interpretive panel that tells the story. This area, known as Leo’s Landing, was named after the owner of a boat rental marina called Leo Hess Marina. This boat rental facility operated in the late 1930’s into the 1950’s. This photograph was taken in the mid 1940’s of the marina.
