Nickname
Peninsula fishing pier/marsh
Coordinates
(38.6014, -75.1612)
Substrate
Osprey Nest Platform
Description
The snag fell down and a new osprey platform was erected about 50 feet from the dead tree by Jodi McLaughlin in October 2017. The old severely slanted osprey platform by the snag was removed as well as it was felt to be too close to the Peninsula boardwalk. Located just off water.
