Spring has sprung, and with it comes an influx of people hoping to take advantage of warmer weather before the busy summer season arrives. This year that can include walking from Hochstrasser’s Marina in Ship Bottom to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge Environmental Trail on Bonnet Island.

The state Department of Transportation confirmed the sidewalk connecting the two areas is open, allowing pedestrians on the north side of the Causeway to walk to the trail, on the south side.
