This list is from productive spots in 2022, which was probably made from previous years' visits. Obviously, conditions change from year to year. But, if an area is productive one year, it has the potential habitat to be productive another year and is worth a visit.
This list is not all-inclusive. Another option to look for productive areas is to use the "Your Observations" Map version with the filter of "Dragonflies/Damselflies", or a specific family or species.
