Hellcat at Parker River NWR

Parker River NWR - Lot #4 Newbury, MA, United States

During the past few years the refuge has opened the dike to hiking during National Wildlife Refuge Week. We will plan to do that hike if the dike is again open this year. Otherwise we hike the boardwalk and normal dike area.
