PLEASE NOTE: As of September 5, 2024, a large portion of Hillman Marsh is currently closed due an invasive species in the Marsh. 

The Hillman Marsh Conservation Area is a wetland habitat that encompasses over 1,000 acres of marshes, ponds and wooded areas that provide critical habitat for a diverse array of waterfowl, shorebirds and other wildlife. Visitors can explore the site via a network of walking trails, birding blinds and observation decks that provide opportunities to view the abundant wildlife.

The marsh also serves an important ecological function, helping to filter water and mitigate flood risks for the surrounding communities. With its rich biodiversity and natural beauty, Hillman Marsh is a beloved destination for birdwatchers, hikers and nature enthusiasts.
