5.6 miles of trail will take under two hours to complete on average and is mostly paved and boardwalk path for an easy hiking experience. However, only part of the trail covers the nature area, so even that 5.6 miles can be cut down without losing beauty.

Blaine Wetland Sanctuary covers more than 500 acres of wetland and its wildlife. The sanctuary works hard to keep invasive plants at bay, which is always appreciated. If you listen and look closely, you may see animals and plants otherwise hidden from most eyes. It's like a game of I Spy!
