About Rough Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary
Encompassing spectacular coastal woodlands, salt marshes, tidal creeks, and salt pannes, Rough Meadows supports an astonishing diversity of wildlife. The sanctuary, managed in collaboration with the Essex County Greenbelt, is part of the Great Marsh ecosystem. The area has been designated an Important Bird Area and an Area of Critical Environmental Concern.
At Rough Meadows, you can explore 1.6 miles of well-marked trails through coastal woodlands to several viewpoints that offer panoramic views of the Great Marsh.
You will find granite benches to sit and have a snack at the end of Professor Chandler’s Long Walk and on the Kestrel Trail.
