Visited to get some exercise and enjoy the flora and fauna and we were not disappointed. Sunny and very relaxing. Pleasant stroll out to the beach was very relaxing. Saw four wild turkeys whilst walking too. Plenty of parking and close to the bike track. Will definitely be going back.

Great for new parents looking for an opportunity to do something without a baby carrier. It has a well maintained handicap accessible path and board walk right out to the waters edge. Its a half mile, nice and easy.

Beautiful, peaceful and easy trail which is great for the whole family. During our walk we saw osprey, bunnies, turtles, dragonflies and lots of red-winged blackbirds. It was a lot of fun for everyone in the family!

We love the Audubon Society and are members, even though we live up in MA. The kids ask us to go there almost every weekend were down in Bristol. Fun little museum with aquatic habitats, educational exhibits, and kids activities. Nice place for a walk through a meadow and down into the salt march to the shore via a boardwalk.

Very pretty place, good for a quick walk. While navigating here, maps tried to take me through an apartment complex. Look for signs for the Audubon Society. Its one road away from the apartment complex and fairly easy to miss
