Friday in August. Mid-afternoon. Warm wind brings a murmur, a rustle to the marsh and trees. Insect whirr crescendos, cascades, descends. We will be back.

Lovely place for a morning walk. Absolutely beautiful trail with not a ton of people walking it. Only ran into one school group all day. Lots of trail to walk, but shorter options for those with little time. Lots of mushrooms to see and tons of different kinds!

Nice trails and observation towers. The northernmost has a nice view of the marsh. We saw many downy woodpeckers and found several young brown snakes, about half a foot long, hidden in plain sight on the path.

Absolutely beautiful, but I would suggest making sure young ones use the bathroom before walking the long path because their are no port-a-potties anywhere.

Love hiking this beautiful forest for the first time and we will be back! Found out that we spent a mile on black top that we didnt have to...ask at the visitors center how to avoid that part. Its the main part of the marsh area, so pick your path Bugs werent bad. Also will come back with our bikes.

Review №75

The first 1.5 mile, from either end, can get a little congested but a great trek of clean paved paths, well traveled dirt paths with viewing and resting areas scattered throughout. There are 2 tall viewing platforms to see over Tobico Marsh, after that is when it gets pretty deserted. Various birds swoop in on the tops of these platforms and land, I sat down with my head below the rail and it was very fun watching the little birds play on the hand rails. Saw a pair of Pileated woodpeckers getting their fill.

The radiance of what GOD has provided through such a stunning natural bounty always rejuvenates, replenishes, and restores a soul which can become weary from the innocuous drivvle of urban life.

Scrap trees, nothing special, almost no wildlife, driveway is a real mess in the spring, deep ruts, pot holes, porty johns usually of of paper, visitors often leave garage in johns, dont waste your time if you live more than a couple miles away...

I enjoy walking aimless through the woods and this part of The Bay, with all its natute and beauty is even more. The trees are endless and the trail takes you to two different towers. The best part really is the offtrails that take you around water pathways and its definitely worth the see.
