Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, Brigantine Division Review

Nearly 40,000 acres of coastal habitats—including 3,000 acres of woodland—are protected in this refuge. Peregrine falcons and bald eagles are among the winged visitors. You can take an 8-mi wildlife drive, or walk the Leeds Eco-Trail, a ½-mi loop through salt marsh and woodlands, or the Akers Woodland Trail, an easy ¼ quarter mi. To get here from Atlantic City, head west on U.S. 30, then right on U.S. 9. After about 5 mi, make a right onto Great Creek Road.
