Freeport has many spots that are a naturalist delight.

Once out there you will enjoy the quiet beauty of the natural habitat and wildlife living on and around the banks of the river. Take some time to paddle up stream where you will eventually come into a small eddy where you can stop and enjoy some great bird watching from the edge of the water. If you find yourself without a boat and are looking for a great place to explore on foot, then you definitely need to check
out Tidewater. This property is a natural conservation trust that runs along the river and is home beautiful wild natural gardens and orchards.
