Grassy Point Preserve

The preserve is considered a wetland area. The purchase of the land was to serve as a guard against development, and a way to restore a coastal hammock community as well as provide a rare habitat for future generations to enjoy.

A nature trail around the upland portion of the preserve, lined with the tree trunks left from the removal of exotics, will take you through the wild growth of bushes, shrubs, and flowers. A boardwalk connects to the nature trail and will lead you to the wetland area with red and black mangroves, tidal flats, oyster bars, a tidal estuarine creek, and seagrass beds. At the end of the boardwalk, there is a view of the bay. While on the trail if you look closely, you will see fiddler crab and other native wildlife. Paddlers can also enter from the waterfront and travel through portions of Grassy Point in kayaks and canoes.
