Description

An easy lolipop hike from the parking lot, mostly a smooth walk through the woods. Some obstructed view at the southern most point of the lolipop loop, but the main view is at the covered pavilion located down the spur trail on the northeast corner of the loop. Close up views of the tidal marsh can be seen through the viewer, including swans, herons, and other sea birds. River in the distance.

Flora & Fauna

Bald eagles in the sky; swans and herons in the marsh.
