The views of the waterways are pleasant, and the few people we ran into were friendly, and the pictures never do the experience justice. It's the third time we've visited, and we will return again....

The boardwalk winds through the refuge offering views of wildlife (sea birds, a loon, and wild geese) with informative signs to explain what you are seeing. Because we were there in April, it was kind of raw and we didn't stayed only long enough to finish the walk. The visitor's center wasn't open. IF we get back to Wells duing... More

Nice short nature walk with educational brochure for families, groups. Quiet forest overlooking salt marsh, sure to see waterfowl.

This is a beautiful place to walk and enjoy nature in Southern Maine. The trails are well maintained and seems rarely used. We love it. Very close to Rte 1, just off Rte 9 in Kennebunk

This is a very small area, but it is pretty. Views of marsh areas and tidal rivers. Minimal services.
