This National Wildlife Refuge protects more than 40,000 acres of southern New Jersey Coastal Habitats and tidal wetlands. More than 200 species of birds can be found here, and 6,000 acres of the refuge are designated as a Wilderness Area, meaning that public access is limited or even entirely prohibited at times. Each year, scores of ducks and geese, wading birds and shorebirds concentrate here during spring and fall migration, making the Refuge ideal for birdwatching, nature photography and related activities. Visitors may also drive an 8 mile long trail through diversified wetlands and uplands habitat, and there are a couple of short trails for foot travelers as well.
