Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve
This 710-acre floodplain and woods is home to thousands of ducks and geese, deer, otters, beavers, herons, and eagles. Nearly five miles of walking trails allow birders and other animal watchers to explore the wetlands for a chance to catch a glimpse of indigenous and migrating creatures in their own habitats. The Education Center has several hands-on exhibits, as well as a real bald eagle's nest that has been completely preserved (and sanitized) for public display. No dogs, scooters, motorized vehicles, or bicycles are allowed.
