The focal point of the 40-acre Hanover Crossings Marsh Sanctuary located in Hanover Township is the spectacular 15-acre marsh complex with a wide variety of flora and fauna found there. The remainder of the property boasts a mix of hardwoods, conifers, and even wildflower fields created when the park was under construction.
