Smyrna - Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge Attractions

Bombay Hook is a haven for waterfowl and other migratory birds. Bombay Hook stems from "Bompies Hoeck", the name meaning "little-tree point" given to the wetlands by a Dutch settler who bought the area from Indians for one gun, four hands full of powder, three waistcoats, one anchor of liquor, and one kettle.

The majority of Bombay Hook National Refuge is tidal salt marsh, one of the largest expanses in the mid-Atlantic region.
