The trail is made up of decomposed granite and crushed oyster shells and makes its way along the edge of the marsh. The trail, shared by bikers, hikers, and runners, is wide enough for 2 people to pass each other, but that's about it.

View across the marsh from the North Observation Platform toward the Cooley Landing Education Center.
A snow egret feeds along the trail in the evening.
Looking over the marsh toward Byxbee Park.
The waterways are subject to the tide, so the water may be up if you are there in high tide, or you may see more mud (like this) if you are there closer to low tide.
A jack rabbit hides in the tall grass along the trail. Be on the look out for ears, which stand above the grass.
