Looking for a place to enjoy nature?
North Cove Harbor Wetland Sanctuary and boardwalk is the perfect place to go.
The Sanctuary is a special place that should not be missed. This sanctuary is home to many different species of birds, fish, and mammals all year long! The 100-acre wetland has an 800-foot boardwalk with covered areas at the end for you to sit back and enjoy nature’s beauty while taking in what’s around you.
