💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit the visitor center first to pick up a handwritten wildlife spotting map. The boardwalk has no shade, so late afternoon visits are recommended in summer, while winter visitors should wear snow boots. Note that major construction will close part of the boardwalk until March 2026. The site is open 24/7 with free parking and wheelchair accessibility.
