Great walk with lots to see and spectacular views that you must see. Can be a little buggy so bring some bug spray. Also keep your gps device to stay on track.

Only hiked about 4 miles worth of the trails today, but it was absolutely gorgeous. Fragrant wildflowers throughout the walk and birds everywhere. Bring you camera or binoculars. Definitely going back to explore more of the trails and hopefully make it out to the actual barn island.

Beautiful hike through the marsh. We saw a lot of wildlife and pretty wildflowers during our mid-June visit. We saw hardly any other people during our hike. Recommend doing the offshoot trail to the cemetery dating from the 1600's. We continued on the red blaze trail which is wooded and shaded (unlike the marsh). The hike through the woods was nice but not as exciting as the marsh area, which is beautiful. There is also a path from the west side if the parking lot to a pretty, small beach, that was not in alltrails or our guidebook. There are interpretive signs about marsh ecosystems. Great place for kids.

Really great trails for beginners and intermediate mountain bikers. Trails are generally wide and clear. It is also very scenic riding through the wetlands. Don't miss out!
