The GPS said Yellow Marsh was closed, forever. I called the park ranger at Blackwater and asked what was going on and he simply said that sometimes the internet lies. Yellow River Marsh Preserve did exist but he strongly encouraged me to pretend it didn’t. It was not even big enough to be picked up on GPS. I went back to Blackwater and the ranger gave me written directions and off I went. He was right, there was not much there, not even a state park sign but the marsh was nice and I’m happy it was preserved! I was not there at the right time of year because the pitcher plants were dormant but I could imagine how beautiful they would be in that landscape.
