About This Trail

Imported description

The real highlight of the marsh trail is the wildlife viewing opportunities. The trail from the car park is tarmac and the rest is crushed shell. There are benches at viewpoints. The observation tower at 200m is an excellent place to look at the scenery at night. Animals are often seen in the water so take care on the trail and do not bring pets. There are a number of canoe routes here.
