New York’s Constitution Marsh Trail Leads To A Magnificent Hidden Oasis
If you’re looking for a gorgeous marsh hike in New York, we’ve got you covered! The Constitution Marsh Audubon Center Trail is only about 1.3 miles, but for a short trail, it packs a lot of beauty! Obviously, mountain hikes and river hikes have a lot to admire, but there is something unique about the special environment of a marsh hike. You’ll see plants and wildlife you don’t normally come into contact with.
At the trail's end, you'll come to a beautiful boardwalk. There are plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the wildlife and peace that surrounds the marsh.
This is a great spot for birdwatchers. Many important species are drawn to marsh ecosystems due to the variety of insects and fish that are supported by the area.
Since it has a relatively short distance, this is a great hike for kids! If you are feeling more adventurous, there's a few other nearby hikes you can check out to make a whole day of hiking the area.
If you want more Hudson Highlands hiking, make sure to check out the nearby state park!
