The Marsh map will show you in detail the different hiking and biking trails that exist within the marsh. The Field Guide explains some of the wild and plant life that exists in the marsh and also offers ideas on leading field trips.

Remaining dates for the season are Monday, July 7 and Monday, August 4. Tours begin at the Barnes Ave Parking lot at 6:30 pm. Each view at the marsh offers something different. Depending on the time of day or which part of the trail you are on the scenery will change. Painted turtles, Blue Herons, Yellow Warblers, Canada Geese and Red-Winged Blackbirds are just a few things that you can see. Talk a walk and see what you can find....
