Prime Hook Creek

Tributary

Prime Hook Creek winds through the heart of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, offering a tranquil corridor for paddlers, anglers, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Fed by freshwater springs and tidal flows, the creek supports a rich mosaic of habitats—from open marshes to shaded woodland edges—making it a hotspot for birdwatching and quiet exploration. Migratory waterfowl, bald eagles, and marsh-dwelling songbirds frequent its banks, while its calm waters host bass, catfish, and sunfish for patient anglers. The creek’s western stretch, accessible from Foord’s Landing, is ideal for kayaking, though the eastern portion is often impassable due to siltation. As it meanders toward the Delaware Bay, Prime Hook Creek embodies the refuge’s mission: to protect vital ecosystems while inviting people to connect with nature’s rhythms.
