Advice:
buy a Mercer County map! > When canoeing or kayaking, take care in tidal areas; currents may be fast and forceful and the water deeper than it seems. > Don't forget to check for ticks that can be active any time of the year. Care should be also taken to prevent mosquitoes from biting. > Please walk on trails. The marsh is a fragile resource.
