The Birch Plain Creek Wildlife Area is a pleasant place for an easy hike or walk by the water. Birch Creek is a salt marsh estuarine system that attracts all kinds of large aquatic birds and other critters.
The creek is tidal and the amount of water varies at lot depending on the tides so it can look quite different depending on when you go. Sometimes the coolest things are seen at very low tide when the creepy critters that live on the bottom are visible.
The area has several miles of hiking in the woods and depending on the time of year can be extremely over grown with dense foliage and always infested with both mosquitoes and nasty flies that love this type of environment. Or course ticks are a constant menace in the warm weather.
Not a large place for a strenuous workout but a pleasant little place to see the wetlands and the critters and plants that live there. Probably best in the late fall or winter when the horrid biting insects and ticks die off but interesting all year long.
