The Marsh Edge Trail can be accessed by turning left at the first fork on the Wildlife Drive. This 1/3 mile-long, paved trail runs along the confluence of the Little Blackwater River and Blackwater River and provides great views of the open water areas of the refuge. Amenities along the trail include a toilet, pavilion, benches, and an observation boardwalk that juts out into the river. Be sure to stop at the kiosk for a self - guided brochure before you begin your adventure. Seasonally, this trail is closed from winter to late summer to minimize disturbance to nesting birds.
