Many species of shorebirds may be seen or heard, including the secretive black rail. What To Do Hunters will find white-tailed and sika deer along the woodland fringe and marsh. Listen for the bugling and whistling of the sika deer stags from September through December. Mallards and black ducks are abundant on the inland ponds, while the best bet for bagging diving ducks, like scaup, is on the bays and river shoreline. Canada geese can be found on the marsh and in the open water.
Fur trapping is offered by yearly lease.
Saltwater fishing and crabbing are excellent. Public boat launching facilities at Bestpitch, Elliot Island and Shorter's Wharf are convenient to Fishing Bay. Mosquitoes and other biting insects are plentiful from spring through early fall. Bring insect repellent, minimize exposed skin and wear light-colored clothing. Check out a map of the area .
