The ecology of this reserve stems from the joining of the Webhannet and
Little Rivers and the Gulf of Maine. As ocean water mixes with these
rivers, estuaries are formed. A majority of the reserve encompasses
these salt marshes. Maritime forest, brush and grassland form about 200
acres of the reserve and are home to a wide diversity of flora and
fauna.
Photographers, birdwatchers, hikers, cross-country skiers, and nature
lovers alike will enjoy the incredible views, trails, and wide range of
flora and fauna. Trails are open from 7am to sunset every day. The
Visitor Center has a plethora of books, videos, maps and gifts. It is
open seven days a week in the summer and Monday through Friday in
witner months. It is closed December 15th through January 16th.
