Guided Kayaking EcoTour: Morning in a Salt Marsh Wildlife Area - All equipment included

Morning in the Salt Marsh

Explore the winding channels of the East River as we paddle through one of Connecticut’s most ecologically rich coastal wetlands. This expansive salt marsh is part of a dynamic estuarine system, where fresh water from inland streams meets the tidal flow of Long Island Sound, creating a haven for wildlife and a constantly shifting landscape shaped by the tides.

We’ll be surrounded by broad expanses of salt marsh grasses—primarily smooth cordgrass and saltmeadow hay—that provide critical habitat for nesting birds, crustaceans, and juvenile fish. Keep your eyes peeled for snowy egrets, great blue herons, oystercatchers, and ospreys diving for fish. At low tide, exposed mudflats attract willets, yellowlegs, and other shorebirds probing for invertebrates.

This landscape constantly changes with the water level—revealing secret creeks and quiet back channels that are only accessible at high tide. By planning our paddle with the tides, we make the trip easier and more relaxed, allowing the incoming or outgoing current to help carry us through the marsh.
