Waterbirds - Boundary Creek Natural Resource Area - Moorestown, NJ - Flora and Fauna Information Signs on Waymarking.com

This interpretive is furthest away form the parking lot than any of the other fauna interpretives. The sign teaches the visitor about the birds which are indigenous to this environment/habitat. At the furthest end of boardwalk #2 is a two-tiered platform, viewing area with two sets of viewing binoculars, free, one high and one low. This is where the interpretives can be found. The interpretive is quite beautiful and features colorful pictures of various indigenous winged friend. Beneath picture is a narrative about the bird. The Board of Chosen Freeholders for Burlington County New Jersey has their insignia at the bottom right of the sign.

There is also an offshoot that goes to the west then back to the north again ending at the Rancocas. This one has a flora/fauna interpretive as well. The whole thing looks like a backwards four. The main section is 160 feet which leads to the decks and binoculars. The offshoot is 115 feet up toward the binocular area. Make a right turn and head you east; that section is 150 feet long, go to the end, make a left head north another 115 feet to the other viewing platform and interpretive.

The boardwalk is only a few years old as this park was established in 2009. I love this park and its boardwalks. Visitors can experience fields, shrub/scrub, forest, marsh and river without having to trek far or manage rough terrain. The park has wide, level trails, observation platforms and blinds, good signage, rest rooms and safe parking. The observation platforms overlooking Rancocas Creek can provide interesting sightings in any season, from waterfowl in winter to jumping fish, basking turtles, and flycatchers hawking insects in warmer months. This park was designed specifically for birding and wildlife watching.

This non-coastal boardwalk is 820 feet away from the parking lot. It is simple to get to. There is a path that cuts through the loop which runs around the park. The path starts at the parking lot at these coordinates: N 40° 0.575 W 74° 54.336. You'll pass the human sun dial at a rotary on the way to the interpretive. The dial is in a small rotary with benches. At the end make a left and walk 143 feet and you will come to the boardwalk which leads to the viewing platform and interpretive.

The interpretive reads:

Waterfowl, wading birds and cormorants spend most of their time in the water, feeding. Listen and look quietly from behind a blind and you have a good chance of seeing one of the birds here at Boundary Creek.
