This is a nice trail for accessing some beautiful nature. There is a tower to climb at the beginning that gives you a nice view of the area. The trail is mostly gentle, but there is limited shade, so make sure to be prepared with sun protection. Since this area is mostly a bog, it can easily get very hot on sunny summer days.

The terrain is pretty gentle, with only minor variations in elevations. There can be a lot of bugs in the area, so insect repellent is recommended.

A quick, easy interpretive trail that takes visitors through a salt marsh. The trail consists mostly of a boardwalk with an early dirt section. The park advises visitors to be wary of mosquitoes while walking this trail. This is a quaint place to come to birdwatch, relax on a bench to read, and to even come to watch the stars at night.
