One of my favorite places to let in my kayak is this place. If you go down the river you reach Great Bay. If you go the opposite direction, you reach Exeter where you can dock the kayak and walk around. There was other places to walk to explore. I never walk around until recently. I found a real treasure.
It was a well kept group of gardens with an overlook to Great Bay. One of the gardens was plants that attract butterflies. They had about 6 other gardens with different functions. It was before the gardens bloom so I could not show a fully function group of gardens. I will go there this summer to see the gardens in full bloom.
Another feature is a place to look at the marsh land. In the distance is Great Bay. There is a functional telescope on the platform. It is known that there is good bird watching there.
There is also a small side trail that goes under the bridge. It doesn’t lead anywhere only the view under the bridge.
One last thing. I saw something there that I have never seen before. They had a dog lease at the entrance. They ask that after you finish using the lease, you put it back where you found it.
