Forsythe is one of my favorite places to bird. On this trip I was there early on a weekday in October, and I basically had the wildlife loop all to myself.It was low tide which means the birds that feed at the mudflats or shallow water were active.If you have never been here before, note that in the summertime the biting flies can be absolutely maddening. They can make the day unpleasant if you plan to get in and out of your vehicle to see the birds.

Great views of the marshes, including an elevated platform for viewing. Lots of birds and flowers of many types. Definitely worth the time.

We were traveling north on Rt 9 and saw the signs for the Wildlife Refuge. We had some time to spare, so we took a detour from our route and discovered a beautiful little slice of nature. The staff at the Visitors Center gave us some helpful advice (bug spray is a necessity in the summer months), and there are several trails to choose from. You can also drive an eight mile loop around the park. If you're looking to see several species of birds in one day, this is the place to visit.

Some nice trails and a great drive-thru route to see tons of migratory birds.

First time here! What a beautiful and well maintained wildlife refuge! Plenty of places to get out and take professional photos along the 8 mile one-way dirt trail. Also available are small hiking trails.

First visit here and I will be back. I wanted to only check it out for a future hike but decided to go on through. Once we walked through the trail, you come out to a beautiful view of Atlantic City. I would consider this. A medium trail due to the hills and steps along the way. We did this after over one hour: a few moments of site seeing and taking pics. Also stooped to catch our breath??. I really enjoyed myself. The weather was a little chilly. Wear layers because you never know how you may feel depending on the day.

Lovely place for a walk. You can take the trails (peaceful, quiet) or walk along the crushed gravel road (not as nice). Not hilly at all but more elevation than you would expect in this area. Good spot to see birds.There is a fee to enter but it’s an honor system (at least in the winter when I came). Bring your exact change so you can leave the cash in the envelope. Drop the envelope in a locked box. Always worth it it support clean parks.

Amazing place to relax and enjoy the fresh Oxygen in the air. Away from all the fumes, and industries. Perfect place to oversee wildlife such as ducks, Seagulls, and sometimes turtles.

Very scenic and peaceful. I loved the Drive trail, but if you take it be prepared to be there for a while because the speed limit is 15mph and it's 8 miles long, plus you'll want to stop for pictures

Beautiful views on a Thanksgiving Day hike with the family. We hiked the Bristow (blue) trail and drove the Wildlife Drive. Both fantastic.

Very nice! There are hiking trails but we did the driving tour. Takes about a half hour and loops way out. It feels like you are driving out on a road on the ocean, lots of wildlife and photo ops.

Took a leisurely scenic drive through the refuge, and spotted osprey, herons, egrets, cormorants and possibly a bald eagle. Great view of the Atlantic City skyline. Lovely scenery, relaxing way to spend a couple hours. Bring binoculars and a hat!
