  Aside from the bugs, especially the bees, the area is gorgeous and so tranquil. The park rangers at the visiting center were incredibly helpful. They told us where to go; and, what to avoid. We didn't even get to the other side of the refuge; but, we definitely got a nice walk in. The newly added boardwalk was lovely. Given the right day, I could even see someone getting married there. The views are really beautiful. Get yourself some binoculars and bug spray and go!!!

  Wow! You can forget, if even just for a moment, that you are in Queens. The employees are welcoming and informative. A great place to go if you want to escape the city and enjoy nature without having to burn through a tank of gas!
