The NJMC Parks folks have managed to get DeKorte Park's  Marsh Discovery Trail partly open again after it took a huge hit from Hurricane Irene.

The blinds are closed because of the damage, but the trail is open most of the way. The rest of the trail is under major repair/construction, with an eye toward opening the entire trail by year's end.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Note: Not much bird life out there late yesterday afternoon — a few Great Egrets, assorted gulls and two distant terns. Did not hear any Marsh Wrens. Was good to walk out on the trail again.
