Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
Northeast Region

Wildlife Observation and Photography

The Wildlife Observation Center, located off Long Hill Road, is particularly good for photography and wildlife observation. It has approximately 1.5 miles of trails, an interpretive trail, an informational kiosk, blinds for observing wildlife, and restrooms. Please, quietly stay on the boardwalk to avoid disturbing wildlife so others may also have a chance to view the wildlife. Pleasant Plains Road, from Refuge headquarters to Great Brook Bridge, is also particularly good for viewing wildlife in varied habitats from your vehicle.
