eastern shore of virginia national wildlife refuge印象

How much time do you have? This is one of those places where you can spend an hour, or all day. The Rangers are very nice, and you will not feel crowded here. I like exploring and learning about those secret places, now mostly overgrown, but still accessible that were "the eyes" for our coastline and country in the wars. The flora/fauna is a great escape from city life, and the birds are a pretty happy bunch. Get out of your vehicle, get some of the freshest air on the East Coast, and take-in nature and history here. It's good for the soul and your aching back! Loved having my bike, safe and enjoyable place to ride.

This was a great visitors center, we had just gone up and down the lighthouse so this cool stop was just what we needed. I was very surprised though by the great exhibits we ended up staying for a good time. I recommend stopping to any family looking for a bit of history.

Smaller refuge. Good visitors center, very helpful staff. Good shorter trails. Many species of butterflies and bords

Hike to the observation platform on a clear day above the old gunneries for a nice view. Off-season, you get another great view from the boat launch area (separate area for canoe as well).

My friend and I stopped by on a whim and found a gem. We were on our way to the outer banks in NC and saw many butterflies and birds. Enjoyed the butterfly gardens in the front and back of the visitor center. Took a walk along the trails and saw several birds we don't usually see near home. It was such a lovely spot that we stopped back on our way home from vacation.

We had a great time at the visitor center talking with three volunteers. They gave a brief history of the eastern shore and explained about the butterfly and bird migration. After some lively conversation, my husband and I ventured out to explore. We stopped at a place where there is a blind and you can see a grassland area. It was mid-day and the tide was out so there wasn't much activity. We then headed over to the bunkers and were intrigued by the history of it as a WW2 outpost to protect the east coast. We walked out to the bay area on the walkway and enjoyed looking at the birds and fishing boats. On the way back to the car we took the stairs to the top of the bunker and enjoyed the view from that perspective. I would recommend going during high tide rather than low, as they said there would be more wildlife activity.We plan to come back some time during the bird and/or monarch butterfly migration and bring my mom. It sounds like it would be an awesome experience.Definitely worth the time to stop in and explore.

lots of interesting displays and other information about the bay from environmental perspective, butterfly walk is pleasant and leads to a scenic lookout over the bay

Visited here after crossing the bridge-tunnel. Nice place for a walk - didn't see many birds as I'd hoped , but I'm sure at the right time of day this would be a great place for birdwatching.

We had been driving around for a while and wanted to stop to stretch our legs. We passed this place and decided it would do. We had a nice walk but didn't see any wildlife.
