Scenic hiking - enjoy Plum Island’s beautiful views and wildlife.
Refuge visitor center UPDATED HOURS: starting January 11th 2019, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
The center features multimedia exhibits, an auditorium where visitors can view an introductory video about the refuge, a multipurpose room, and The Plover’s Nest gift shop (operated by the Friends of Parker River National Wildlife refuge).
The refuge itself provides many visitor opportunities. From the 6.5 mile long Wildlife Drive, visitors can view wildlife in a variety of habitats including salt marsh, dune, and maritime forest. The Hellcat Interpretive Trail boardwalk includes both a marsh and dune loop. A number of other boardwalks provide access to the refuge’s ocean beach (when the beaches aren’t closed because of piping plover management – April 1st thru late summer). Two observation towers, the handicap accessible Pine Trail, the Bill Forward Bird Blind, and a number of other wildlife viewing areas provide almost limitless opportunities to observe, photograph and otherwise enjoy wildlife.

In warmer weather, beach clothes and sandals are a must! Bring some sweatshirts and a raincoat just in case the ocean breeze gets chilly at night. If you like to hike, bring some sneakers or boots to explore the parks and reservations. In winter and fall be sure to pack warm clothes and a jacket
