Guided Eco-Cruise through the “Jewel of the Meadowlands.
May 22, 2022 - May 22, 2022
Travel aboard the Hackensack Riverkeeper’s specially rigged 30-foot pontoon boat for a guided cruise to the lower tidal reaches of the Hackensack River and its wildlife-rich estuary, the Meadowlands. The shallow draft of the boat enables it to reach numerous wetlands including the Mill Creek Marsh, Kingsland Creek and the Berry’s Creek Canal. The highlight of every Meadowlands Eco-Cruise is a trip through the Sawmill Creek Wildlife Management Area – the “Jewel of the Meadowlands.” The Sawmill WMA is home to a staggering amount of wildlife including shorebirds, waterfowl, herons, raptors, muskrats and terrapins.
