The Norton Basin Natural Resource Area is an 11-acre sanctuary located at the eastern end of the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, New York. This tranquil area is a testament to the beauty and diversity of urban natural spaces, offering more than 1,700 feet of winding trails through a variety of habitats. It’s a place where visitors can enjoy shore fishing, with opportunities to catch species like striped bass and fluke, or simply immerse themselves in wildlife watching. The area serves as a foraging ground for birds such as the American black duck and brant goose, and its marshes act as a nursery for young fish. For those seeking a peaceful retreat or a chance to connect with nature, the Norton Basin Natural Resource Area provides a unique and rewarding experience right in the heart of the city.
