Equipment, stamina, and skills
▼It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to reach the marsh and about 30 to 40 minutes inside the marsh.
There is a boardwalk through the marshland area, but other areas may be overgrown with vegetation.
▼The incline is gentle so it is easy on the body.
It was a very hot summer so it would be nice to have more to drink.
Because there are paths like this, hiking boots are more comfortable than sneakers.
