Buzzard Swamp

Premier wildlife viewing area with 15 man-made ponds.

Buzzard Swamp is a premier wildlife management area spanning over 11,000 acres, featuring a chain of 15 man-made ponds created to provide habitat for migratory waterfowl. It is a world-class destination for birdwatchers, who may spot everything from ospreys and bald eagles to rare shorebirds. The area also supports a healthy population of bear, deer, and coyotes, and its flat, well-maintained trail system is ideal for easy hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing in the winter.
