Fodor's Expert Review James Farm Ecological Preserve

Farmers once worked these 150 acres, but today the wild open spaces feature bayberry, sassafras, salt marsh, and all manner of plants under a hardwood canopy. Fall brings various migratory birds. Visitors can traverse more than 3 miles of marked hiking trails, and there are three observation platforms and wildflower gardens. The site also has an amphitheater, an informational kiosk, and rest areas.
