Description

An accessible boardwalk starting from the CTDEEP Marine Fisheries Headquarters and Boating Division office provides an opportunity to visit the Connecticut River and fringing salt marshes. At the end of the ~ 0.2 mile boardwalk there is a raised viewing platform where you can observe nesting osprey in the marshes and boats on Long Island Sound. This is a great spot for marine fishing or crabbing and for nature enthusiasts of all ages.
