Ned Brinkley Natural Preserve

Ned Brinkley Natural Preserve

About

This county-owned nature preserve contains diverse coastal plain habitats and is located adjacent to an old, capped landfill with a renowned birding history. A flat, 1.4-mile mowed out-and-back trail travels east through an open scrub-shrub habitat, eventually leading to a mature woodland with a hard-packed dirt trail. An elevated boardwalk winds through the woodland, terminating at a seaside overlook platform with a view of Brockenberry Bay, a marsh, and mudflats at low tide. A short spur off the main trail, near the parking area, leads to a freshwater pond with a photography blind. (Both the boardwalk and the photography blind have ramp access.)
