Liked very much, did two trails, hardly found any birds. Able to practice Intentional Camera movement techniques.

I love Prime Hook! If I'm not walking at the beach, I'm at Prime Hook. Most of the trails are shortish, but it's easy enough to connect from on to another to another. There are places that are great for watching the sunrise, places that are remain very usable even if there's been a ton of rain, and places to get engulfed in the beautiful trees.

Visited on Labor Day weekend Sunday around noon. There weren't too many other cars in the parking lot. The visitor center is pretty small, but they have a good selection of items in the gift shop. The bathrooms are also located inside the visitor center. This is also where you can get your blue goose passport cancelation stamp. They actually sell the blue goose book here. This is only the 3rd NFWS gift shop we've ever encountered that sells it. We've been to almost 2 dozen.

The parking spots around the back are much better as a few are shaded by large trees. This is also where the picnic tables are. There is also a dock to launch boats or kayaks at no cost. The lady working in the visitor center said another of people get stuck in there and that the boat launch further up the road on the way in is much better.

We hiked the boardwalk trail loop, and it was very nice. It was a pretty warm day, and I'd recommend coming earlier or maybe later in the day.

If we were to come back, we'd bring our kayaks and probably fishing gear. We'd like to explore the park more.
