You’ll find an outdoor mecca of birdwatching, hiking, biking, hunting, fishing and boating. A vineyard on the island can replenish thirsty travelers with fine wines while orchards provide treats such as fresh peaches, apples, jams and more. Mackey Island National Wildlife Refuge While in Knotts Island, discover the natural beauty and wildlife of the Mackey Island National Wildlife Refuge located on over 8,000 acres of land. Established in 1960, the refuge is home to many endangered and threatened species including peregrine falcons and American bald eagles. Visitors can often spot Canadian geese, ducks, osprey raptors, wading birds and shore birds. Bird watching is very popular on the island along the Great Marsh Trail which provides a tranquil walk or cycling through a swamp-like habitat. Photographers can capture endless natural beauty from a number of exclusive vantage points throughout the island. Fishing and crabbing are permitted with the required permit. Many prime fishing spots are accessible only by hiking, bicycling or boat.
