We were in town on business for the day and passed this park in what seemed like in the back of a subdivision on our way to our destination. We decided to check it out after we had concluded our business. I’m glad we did!! We had a nice relaxing hour walk before hitting the road for our 2hr drive home! We walked about a mile on the really nice trails. Nice overlook on the water! Saw 3 woodpeckers. If you are in the area check it out.

This is a great little trail that is definitely easy to miss if you aren’t looking. It is a nice hidden gem of a place where you can go for a nice walk. It’s not a very long trail, but it’s still worth a visit. The only minor complaint that I can think of is that there is minimal parking available, maybe 3-4 spots and 1 handicapped space. Good place to come out on a nice cool day to get some fresh air.

Beautiful hike! Trail was very short and manageable, perfect for a beginner or children. There's a little canoe dock at the back if you were to walk your canoe through. Mostly boardwalk and packed sand trail. Very short but pretty. Also, parking lot has four spaces and a handicap space so be prepared to park in the grass outside the parking lot. Dog friendly. Stroller friendly.

This is a beautiful little boardwalk in a residential area. We didn't walk past the end of the boardwalk, but it seems that dirt trails extend beyond that. Heavy rains make those trails muddy. Parking in the tiny lot is limited, but there's more parking in the grass along the street near the park.

Looks like it would be a beautiful place to spend a morning enjoying nature. Unfortunately I actually had to RUN back to the car. The biting flies were unbearable. Tried to at least salvage the trip with a couple of pictures. They might be blurry from the squadron of flies circling my head. 😝

Nice little preserve. Good for a quick walk. Salt marsh was beautiful. There were few very informative signboards with small print. Visited once only in the winter, so, my observations are limited. Parking was available only for about five cars, including one slot for disabled parking.
