The Tobico Marsh was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1876 and is home to some 200 varieties of song birds and waterfowl.  Being at the junction of the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways, it is likely you will see waterfowl and shorebirds in almost any season of the year.

A boardwalk in excellent condition, two tall observation towers and a floating dock with scopes make for a convenient environment even for the casual walker on the Frank N. Anderson Trail.

This area is an excellent funnel for migrating warblers in the spring. Bitterns are also seen here. Spend some time on the two observation towers to get a bird’s-eye view into the surrounding treetops.

White-tailed deer are occasionally seen in the early morning—especially at the northern end of the trail. Hikers report regularly seeing otter, beaver, gray and red fox, coyote, and Blanding’s turtle.
