Summer on the Water

The dog days of summer might be here, but don't let that get you down! Instead, beat the heat with an adventure on the water—be it by river, lake, pond, bay, or ocean; by cruise, kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard.

Where Are We Now

While most visitors take the path toward the boardwalk over the marsh at this wildlife sanctuary, if you take a right past the nature center (pictured in the distance) you will arrive at this path. Once flat grass, the new packed-gravel makes this short trail, which ends at a meadow overlook, fully accessible for wheelchairs, strollers, and the like.
