At one time there was a very elaborate plan to enlarge and rebuild

I think it was the now long-retired park ornithologist, Terry McEneaney, who told me he had seen plans to greatly enlarge not just the parking lot (which needs it!) but the store as well. The very idea grossed him out. Let's face it, there's not a lot of room to build an elaborate structure and facilities to handle the traffic.
When we were there in June, road rebuilding started just north of the parking lot exit (and continued to Tower Junction), I certainly hope when that's done they will at least pave the parking lot, which has been falling apart for years.

Stuff in the gift store part was rearranged a few years ago but nothing terribly drastic. Still t-shirts and a lot of stuff made in China :-(
Ice cream and general store still in the back.
