Cattail Marsh Scenic Wetlands

About

What to Know

Cattail Marsh combines roughly 900 acres of wetlands with a boardwalk, covered viewing platforms, and more than eight miles of gravel levee roads. Birdwatching and wildlife photography are major reasons to visit; the longer paths also support a more active outing. Start near the boardwalk if you want a shorter introduction, then decide whether to continue along the levees. The Wetlands Education Center provides another way to understand the habitat. Bring sun protection and water, and check conditions before a long walk. Wildlife sightings vary with season and weather.
