A 10,144-acre National Wildlife Refuge on the Delaware Bay shore in Sussex County, just south of Bombay Hook NWR. A mosaic of tidal marsh, freshwater impoundments, coastal beach, and upland forest. Managed for migratory waterfowl, shorebirds, and the Atlantic Flyway corridor. Public-access trails, wildlife-observation areas, hunting and fishing permits, and active environmental-education programming.
