The center is a great place to start exploring the state's largest salt marsh by foot or canoe. It provides a variety of guided and self-guided walks and canoe tours as well as exhibits, a nature trail, canoe rentals and a nature store. An aquarium, mounted birds and mammals, and interactive exhibits are also featured at the center. All guided programs are led by trained naturalists.
The 3,100 acre estuary known as Scarborough Marsh is the largest salt marsh in the state, comprising tidal marsh, salt creeks, freshwater marsh and uplands. The marsh is particularly important for wildlife as a resting, breeding and feeding ground. |
