Beautiful place. Gods country!!! Numerous types of wildlife of all species.
Beautiful place to view wildlife, take a hike or just relax. Tons to do and see. While here I saw so many bird species and even Bald Eagles, Hawks, Owls and much more. Protect this place as it is truly a national treasure.
This is a wildlife refuge that 5 other artists and myself visit every year because of it's natural beauty. We rent a place for 2 weeks and go out everyday and paint the lovely vistas and beach and marsh scenes.
And it is not too far from activities in Lewes and Milton, Delaware.
The sunset cruises up the canals is a real treat, too.
Saw a pair of nesting eagles there that took my breath away. Worth the drive to visit any time of year.
The lady at the visitors center was very friendly and informative. She told me about the trails and informed which trails have ticks and mosquitos. I ended up hiking the Dike Trail to see the osprey nest. The trail was graveled and watch your steps because there were some dog poop on the trail. I was going to hike the trail with the boardwalk, but saw the tick warning sign and decided not to since I recent got Lyme disease. The view is amazing and peaceful. The other trails appear to be more woodlands. This refuge is dog friendly. My girls had fun. There is also an auto tour. It doesn't seem to come with audio though.
