Slaughter Creek flows through vast, unspoiled salt marshes backed by a curtain of forest. It is in the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge which is a sanctuary for migratory birds and lies along the western shore of Delaware Bay. The refuge contains a variety of habitats, including freshwater and salt marshes, woodlands, grasslands, ponds, and forested areas. It supports 267 species of birds and a variety of reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. The scenery is intriguing and changes between different, untamed outdoor neighborhoods.
