At the mouth of the Nicomekl River, freshwater meets the tidal expanse of Mud Bay in a vast, shifting estuary. The mix of salt and freshwater creates rich feeding grounds for herons, ducks, and migrating shorebirds, especially at low tide. It’s a quiet place to watch the tide shift and spot wildlife, and is one of the most peaceful spots at Blackie Spit Park.
