INTRODUCTION

The waters of Cypress Creek and Little Creek add a unique dimension to Windsor Castle Park. They help to create the marsh environment and flavor it with a salty mix that determines which organisms can live here. These waters bring distant travelers from the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay on a seasonal basis to find refuge during developmental stages of their lives. The vistas of the meandering creeks are soothing to many of us. Fishing from the pier brings many delights. Come learn about what is found in the waters of the park through the following sections on the life and dynamics of the creeks.
