Took an uber from town to the beginning of Warren Landing Rd where we walked down the paved driveway to reach the start of the trail by the Audubon Center (which was closed). It’s another short hike from there to reach the marsh. It’s a fairly easy trail, you hike up and down a small rocky hill with a beautiful moss-covered terrain. The vistas are gorgeous. The boardwalk is an easy walk through the marsh; we saw several kinds of birds and frogs. Some parts of the boardwalk were a bit submerged, so be extra careful here.

Beautiful walk down on a rocky mossy path ( just watch your footing ). Its so relaxing to just stay on the broadwalk in the middle of march with the wind blowing thru cat’s tail. Problem is we dont know where to park our car. So we drive all the way down to the Audubon educational center.

Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary is very beautiful. From the parking lot, you are going down the hill to the entrance of a 20-minute hike. The entrance to this hike is very beautiful. I met a few volunteers who greeted us with a smile on their face. When you hike down the hill to marsh, you have to follow blue color trail. Once you reach the bottom of the hill, you will find the constitution marsh and breath taking view of the west point. This place might get very warm in summertime.

Beautiful but rocky and steep bring polls better to join an organized walk so you can park at the facility. Fabulous guides.

Note: There are only eight parking spots for cars and no alternative parking nearby. You may have to come back at another time if all spots are full. You walk down a private road, open to hikers, to the trail head at the education center. From there the little hike starts over some steep and rocky ground, already offering some beautiful views over the marshes before you go down again to enter them over a wooden bridge. With crossing the bridge you’re entering the marshes, having the possibility to walk a small circle on wooden walkways. It’s beautiful and relaxing as with only so little parking spots you don’t have to expect many people to be there. If you remain for a little while you may see muskrats and different birds. The total distance from the parking area and back is 1.2 miles.

Kind of a hidden gem for a nice easy hike with gorgeous views! Honestly the walk back up the road to the parking lot is more tiresome than the hike from the Audubon Center to the marsh. Just be wary that police in the area are VERY vigilante, so if you are not in a legal parking spot, your car will be towed and possibly fined, as well. There are only 8 spots so get there early or go on a weekday.

The following review *** is how i once felt about Constitution marsh..... Unfortunately, i can no longer gain access to the trail on a regular basis- why you ask? because they took away the parking spaces. ?why this was done, you ask? most likely at the request of the very fortunate folks who are lucky enough to live there. as an avid bird enthusiast and a donating member of Audubon- i am very disappointed. this is not an easy location for people to hike too if you are not an avid hiker. the hill one must traverse in order to get to the trails is no easy task. it is ironic that the "constitution" marsh has been taken away from anyone who is disabled or unable to walk . ***this place is great IF you are lucky enough to get one of only a few legal parking spots. but- as luck would have it- i was fortunate and so walked down the steep paved hill to the marsh trail. short hike with one or two steeper parts- but a walking stick did the trick and i enjoyed myself very much. did not see much wild life but a very scenic spot for photography and bird enthusiasts as it is a national Audubon Society spot.
