Mill Creek Marsh, with its vast array of wildlife, never ceases to amaze visitors of nature’s wonders, right here in the great metropolis. Seasonal changes always keep things interesting and fresh, with the wide range of migratory birds, furry critters, reptiles, insects, and flowers plus other plants appearing at different times of the year.
What makes the central landscape so unique is the fact that it was once a thriving white cedar forest centuries ago, only to be altered by man, but leaving the resilient stumps, hauntingly protruding from the marsh waters, while dramatically altering the scenery depending on the tide level and weather conditions. It is one of the most fascinating landscapes for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Magic hour—early in the morning or later in the day—is simply magnificent here, and the views toward any direction are unlike anything else. The lower tide stumps and the overall landscape is enhanced with the rich tones during those periods.
The main circuit trail is slightly over a mile in length, and the view of the aforementioned is always present. In addition, the New York City skyscrapers to the east can also be quite rewarding, with varying moods at any given time.
