A DCR salt marsh reservation of roughly 600 to 800 acres spanning Saugus and Revere along the Saugus and Pines River estuary, protected as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern. There are no formal interior trails, since the marsh surface itself is too soft and tidally flooded to walk on, so visits mean birdwatching and paddling from the edges rather than hiking through the middle.
