Wooded trails, tidal creeks and a long boardwalk along the Western Branch offer intimate nature scenes, reflections, wetland textures and birdlife. Best at golden hour for warm light on the marsh and long shadows in the trees. Easily accessed from Marie Olsen Dr with small parking lot; trails are mostly flat and family-friendly. Visit spring/fall for foliage and migratory birds; weekday mornings have the fewest people.
