We decided to start our hiking adventures this year by heading off to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. We headed out Sunday, February 5th around 8 a.m. with sunny skies and a high temperature of 45 degrees. The drive down there took about two hours and took us across the Bay Bridge
Blackwater NWR boasts 25,000 acres of brackish tidal wetlands, evergreen and deciduous forest, and freshwater impoundments. The visitor’s center offers a butterfly garden and viewing station for one of the many Osprey nests.
