What is Bridge Creek Conservation Area like?
About 2.5 miles of easy walking trails through ~246 acres of remarkably diverse wetland habitat: stone walls, abandoned cranberry bogs, tidal and freshwater streams, open marsh, and hardwood swamp. The northern trail toward Route 6A crosses a boardwalk and two bridges with views over Bridge Creek marsh, excellent for birdwatching. Connects to Jenkins Wildlife Sanctuary and Bridge Street Conservation Area for longer loops.
