This 6,765 acre Wildlife Refuge is Natural Land's Trusts largest. Turkey Point has an observation platform from which one can observe the
vast tidal marshes and may see Bald Eagle, Northern Harrier, wading birds and waterfowl. This preserve is better accessed by canoe/kayak then by hiking. There are oak-pine woodlands, Delaware Bay beaches, hardwood swamps, over 200 species of ferns, club-mosses, conifers, and flowering plants including the narrow-leaved crab-apple, mistletoe, and pond pine can be found within this preserve.
This preserve provides habitat for Bald Eagles, the occasional Rough-legged Hawk or Golden Eagle, Short-eared Owl, Yellow-throated and Pine Warblers,, Red Knot, Ruddy Turnstone and other shorebirds, butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies , diamondback terrapins , swallows and horseshoe crabs. Maple Street has street view of the preserve where I saw nearly a dozen Turkey Vultures sitting on the road.
The main reason I can't give this preserve a 5 star is the lack of trail markers. As the fall is well underway many of the trails are overgrown and hard to locate without markers. The most disappointing thing about this preserve is the amount of toilet paper scattered around the trail at Turkey Point- apparently people find it acceptable to use this preserve as their toilet.
Really nice would like to be able to swim thete
Good fishing except during horseshoe crab season
A natural local treasure. A must see, experience for yourself down home jersey wetlands.
