Located about 10 miles from Dover, Delaware, the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge provides critical habitat for birds migrating between the Gulf of Mexico and Canada. Bombay Hook covers 16,000 acres and was established in 1937. Thanks to monies received from the Federal Duck Stamp program, which sells stamps to hunters, stamp collectors and conservationists, the park has been able to add more land to the park over the years. This important area is one of the largest unaltered tidal saltwater marshes in the mid-Atlantic area.
Now the 29th coin in the National Park quarter series, and the 4th issue of 2015, will honor this tidal, saltwater marsh. The park offers 12 miles of roads to tour the park, as well as hiking trails, allowing visitors access to the nearly 200 different bird species that pass through annually, as well as deer, fox, hermit crabs and more.
