For a quick dose of natural serenity, don't miss the Quivett Neck Creek Overlook at Crowes Pasture. This very short, 0.1-mile walk leads to a scenic viewing area offering picturesque vistas of the saltwater marsh and creek. The trailhead is somewhat hidden at the south end of the first parking lot on the right of South Street. While the trail itself is easy, remember that the best views might require a bit of exploration into the muddy marsh for a more immersive experience of the area's unique ecosystem.
