Crabbing is done off Ingleside and fishing is possible at the entrance to the park from the bridge spanning the Eastern Neck Narrows. Crabbing boats and equipment are offered commercially just north of the bridge. A boat launching ramp is located at Bogles Wharf Landing for those with county launching permits. Mammals at the refuge include white-tailed deer, beaver, red fox, raccoons, muskrat, opossum, woodchuck, eastern gray squirrel and the endangered Delmarva fox squirrel. The fall and spring months are the best times to view migratory birds.
