A hidden gem south of the "cut" on the "island of Cape May". Found this place a couple of years ago and fell in love. Smiled big when we saw the bee hives in one of the fields. Smiled big again when we found the "tree cave", complete with picnic table inside. Great place for a peaceful walk any time of the year. Highly recommended along with all of the better known Cape May attractions.
Lovely preserve run by The Nature Conservancy. It has visually impaired trail guides and a great set of trails.
GORGEOUS! Definitely a must see in Cape May. So beautiful in the fall. Lots of trails to walk a beautiful butterfly statue at the entrance. They keep the preserve very clean and there’s plenty of benches and gazebos if you wanted to bring lunch with you. You can spend quite a while here. They even have easels out for you to paint or draw with!
Beautiful place to be to get away from everything except nature. I went there for the Butterfly Event where they put up a statue for the resemblance for protecting butterflies. Butterflies also migrate to this area during the summer and fall getting ready to go to Mexico for winter. It is such a beautiful place to visit. I don’t recommend going on a hot day though. Can be hard to withstand the heat.
Wonderful biodiversity of plant and animal life- a great place to see variety of flowers up close. Tons of butterflies, dragonflies, and birds
Very well kept trails. Plenty of different types of birds and flowers. Also the occasional turtle and butterflys. Not very much shade so make sure to bring plenty of water and sun screen. This place is a hidden gem of South Jersey. Looking forward to my next trip back possibility in the fall to catch the wildlife migration south.
Had a lovely experience at the preserve. Got a very informative tour from Land steward Lily. The paths are very well kept and they have these industrial art easles for anyone to capture the surrounding nature. There is a port-a-potty on site. I would recommend some sunblock and bug spray as well. The only thing I would have liked to see is a sign on the main road to better lead visitors to the preserve.
