Norm
Had a visitors center but went there at the worse time possible. Got there just before closing, so didn't get a chance to see much of the center. Did a quick drive through of the park and still saw some deer, herons and a beautiful bald eagle! Will definitely go back in better weather!

One of my favorite stops on the Eastern Shore as well as Maryland in general. Always some incredible natural scenes and creatures to observe, including eagles.

Beautiful…. Love the drive in walk through as it gives you glimpse of the wildlife around you. You’re able to park and walk around as there’s so much wildlife. Sunset was perfect

Well-presented and maintained refuge for myriad shore birds and other wildlife. The staff was extremely helpful and happy to provide an overview of the welcome center exhibits and options, as well as give personal guidance about where to look for certain birds. We saw Bald Eagles, Canada Geese, various ducks, and more. The many scenic views over the Blackwater River were gorgeous. I was afraid we were going to drive off the narrow causeway going through the marshes and mudflats because of looking all around to see the beautiful views. Looking forward to going back when the weather is milder and using the walking paths and birds stands for a closer look.

Totally worth the visit. If you like a moving yellow blanket of goldenrods and a swarm of bees and butterflies, I’d say visit towards Sep 7. We saw herons of multiple colors, bald eagles, egrets, ducks, wrens, warblers, finches, and me! Pack sandwiches and water. Check in at the visitor center for a quick description of the area and take pics of the maps and trails. Great place to hike as well. Ample parking available. We drove along the roads heading further south for some vast scenic views of wetlands. There were turtles, dragon flies, and very few people to make for a memorable sunset. Highly recommend.
