A maze of trails that all lead back to the same central spot.  The scenery is absolutely gorgeous, and an abundance of wildlife! We saw a turtle, Canadian geese, a beaver and a plethora of birds.  It was a wonderfully flat trail that I was able to use a stroller on.  Though the planks on the wooden walkways are uneven, so it is a very bumpy ride for a little one (I imagine the same for a wheelchair). I ended up carrying my baby in an ergo, which was perfect!  And she loved the scenery as well.  Also noteworthy is the trail is initially paved, and leads to wooden planks and gravel trails.

All in all, this was an absolute gem of a trail. I can't recommend this enough, I will be back!

Very nice walk, we took the Twin Barns Loop trail for a quick introduction to the Billy Frank Jr Nisqually Wildlife. 

Beautiful trees, habitat and accessible trail. We saw four Bald Eagles, Wood Ducks and frogs. Definitely a place to return to.

one note of caution....there were stinging nettles everywhere, very close to the edge and overhanging the handrail. 

Had a great stroll through the wildlife area this weekend! The parking lot was absolutely packed and overflowing, but the trails were not very crowded. I imagine most people do the Visitor's Center and the first little boardwalk loop. Everyone kind of goes at their own pace, so we didn't have any trouble with traffic jams or feeling like we were being crowded out of the good spots. Lots of people with strollers and wheelchairs, so it's a good accessible trail for everyone. 

We went during low tide...mud almost as far as the eye could see, which has its own sort of stark beauty. It was a very clear day so Rainier was peeking over the trees. We saw herons, swallows, red-winged blackbirds, kestrels, sea lions and bald eagles as we walked, which was super cool. It was a sunny, breezy day -- perfect weather to be out on the boardwalk! Definitely bring sunscreen and a hat, as there's no shade once you get out there.

This is one I think can definitely be enjoyed over and over. I want to go back during a higher tide, and apparently it's prime eagle viewing during the salmon run. 

This is an awesome, flat trail. It's perfect for people who want to go a long(ish) distance, but don't want to deal with hills. The per car fee is also only $3 per day!

I started in the parking lot and walked along the boardwalk and past the twin barns. Then I followed the service road for a little ways. It was cool to be able to see freshwater marsh and mud flats on either side. The boardwalk starts at the end of the road and runs a mile out on the delta. There are several good viewing platforms along the way and I saw several species of birds, so bring your binoculars!

There were quite a few people out this day, but the crowds thinned considerably once I got out on the boardwalk itself. My suggestions for this hike would be to use sun screen since there are basically no trees for the majority of it and to go at high tide. I went at low tide and there were a lot less birds than there would have been if I had gone at high tide.
