General InformationThe National Park Service operates a visitor center with exhibits at the bridge approach to the north end of the island. The island is also a stop-off point during the migration of the once-endangered peregrine falcon and several waterfowl, including the greater snow goose. Both herds reportedly are descendants of a 16th-century herd that swam ashore from a sinking Spanish galleon, although a more likely story is that they descended from local farm horses. There are two herds of horses on the island, including Chincoteague ponies that eat marsh grass and drink from freshwater ponds. The national seashore encompasses 49,500 acres (19,000 of which are land), including Assateague Island and nearby small islands. Assateague Island National Seashore and Assateague State Park manage the Maryland portion of the island, and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge manages the Virginia end.
