SUNRISE in Water of Late Summer at Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus, NJ (Meadowlands)
This particular morning had me seeking a special sunrise hour, pre and post with the magical tones in the air. The great thing about Mill Creek Marsh, especially during low tide, is the vast array of ancient cedar stumps that protrude from the water surface. There is nothing like it in the region, and if one did not know, it could easily appear as if it were from the swamp lands deep in the southern states. Furthermore, the mud flats add to the hauntingly wonderful effect, creating a most fascinating landscape. When the tones of the morning or late afternoon skies have that warmth, the resulting reflections can be quite dramatic. The vast number of birds, both migratory and resident, allows anyone who enjoys the wonders of these winged friends a great experience whenever visiting Mill Creek Marsh, a quiet, almost hidden, sanctuary of wildlife. The variety of bird and plant species is incredible, so if one is appreciative of such, then learning something new is the norm. In addition, there are some furry, adorable critters and several kinds of turtle, including quite large snapper. Seasonal changes always keep things fresh and interesting . . .
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.
Check out some of the SETS related to the Meadowlands, including Mill Creek Marsh, Richard DeKorte Park, Mill Creek Point, and Laurel Hill Park.
