Peaceful

Average Rating
80

Flat, easy walk through forests and across open areas with lookouts and rest spots at various places along the salt marsh and estuary. Trees marked with information as well as signs at the lookouts explaining various things in the environment and ecosystems. Nice, peaceful, pretty walk. We walked 5 of the 8 trails in about 2 hours.

Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve encompasses the Laudholm Farm in its 1,600-acre reach. Also a bird sanctuary, the area was chosen because of two rivers adjacent to the farm that flow into the ocean forming estuaries and nesting areas.
