    Hiking

    I believe this Wildlife Management Area can be accessed on land for a hike but I have not yet explored it.

    History

    Cromwell Meadows is one of 20 significant wetlands within the internationally recognized Connecticut River Estuary and Tidal River Wetlands Complex and one of the 40 “last great places in the Western Hemisphere.”

    Due to its rare species, fisheries, wetlands, water birds and unusual habitat, Cromwell Meadows is designated a high priority Special Focus Area within the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge.
