The Jug Bay wetland Sanctuary is a great place for bird watching. So many Ospreys, and other flying friends. if you get lucky, you might see a beaver, otter, or muscrat swimming around. Keep your eyes out for snakes. There dirt paths and boardwalks all through the sanctuary to get you right in the action. Bring your binoculars and a snack, check out the welcome station. There's a $6 fee per car as well.
