Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center

This is a must for any nature lover. The Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center features an indoor museum. At this time, and on such a lovely day I preferred to explore the walking path that leads to the bay.

A pleasant salt marsh walk. Trail is obvious and bridged fairly well. Overlooks built in by Eagle Scouts offer nice views and some good birding. I got lucky with weather and breeze when I went keeping insects down, but would definitely bug spray myself next time as trail gets close and under wood cover shortly after leaving start points. The Meadow Trail we wanted to try out first was closed by large downed tree ...Nature, who knew? But the lake trail was nice as well. All fairly short and nothing strenuous about the walk. Education and Visitors Center was very nice and we'll maintained. Staff friendly and informed. Good place for a kayak canoe jaunt besides a walk.

Had a great time wandering the grounds and grabbing a few geocaches.

Incredible environment. It has a beautiful species this place.

Great hike with the kids. A few too many mud puddles after the rain the day before but the kids and we did enjoy the hike. Take a map at the welcome center and bring musquito spray, snacks, water and a picnic.nnWe also checked out the bird exhibits. Hope to kayak in the future!
