About this place
Added by Gustavo Quiros
Get to know the barrier island dunes and the wildlife that live there via a boardwalk trail with a viewing deck.
Park in the parking area off of Refuge Rd. Take the Dunes Trail, a boardwalk path for the ~1-mile loop. Enjoy the views from an observation deck on three-story-high dunes. This trail is accessible from April-October.

Best trail in Parker River
The longest trail in the refuge. Marsh side of this trail is currently closed for maintenance, likely until July 2019 or later.

Great For Bird Sightings
The whole wildlife refuge in Plum Island is great for walking and bird watching. Nice beaches as well.
