Wetlands Nature Area

The Wetlands Nature Area is a refuge for a wide variety of wildlife and plant species. The Wetlands not only provides a protected environment for a host of animals and plants, but also gives visitors a chance to observe them in their natural surroundings. The trails wind through field and forest and along the west bank of the Susquehanna River, providing opportunities for nature study, wildlife observation, photography and other aspects of environmental education.

The Wetlands Nature Area was designated an "Urban Wildlife Sanctuary" in 1988. Hunting, fishing, trapping and pets are prohibited here.
