What to know before you go
It is a natural preservation center so the boats are cautious to not go near the actual marsh land to disturb or threaten the bids. It is suggested to maintain silence as a tourist.
The Creek has high and low tides so wearing the life jacket is a must.
A naturalist or tour guide can help you better understand the place.
