Vosburgh Swamp Wildlife Management Area

If you are looking for tidy paved trails and picnicking facilities, nearby Four Mile Point Preserve would be a better choice; it is also fully accessible. This is more in the spirit of NY's "Forever Wild" areas, and is a beautiful wildlife management area to explore without having to worry about wandering too far from civilization. Minimal land has been too badly disturbed for the sake of paths and trails. Numerous bodies of water, including ponds, vernal pools, the swamp itself, creeks, and even small waterfalls, and lots of unique sorts of areas to see interesting plant and animal life, including pine and hemlock stands, a small fen, and lime bluffs.

Love the outdoors, so this is just a nice quiet place to do some bird watching

Great views. Just a lot of glass so be careful if you bring your animals.

There seem to be several trails here that don’t connect, as far as I can see. I parked in the area on 4 mile point rd soon after turning off 385. This section of trail is about a mile down to the swamp front. This is a true foot trail, no paved tourist walk or even gravel stroll. Ankle deep mud/water squelching and slogging through. The woods are pretty, but the swamp at the end is worth the mud-sludging. When the foot trail ends at the little gravel road, take a left and follow it down to the swamp. You may not think of a swamp as beautiful, but it is! I think this area is mostly used as a hunting area, don’t wear deer colors. I only saw one other party, feels quite remote. No bugs bothered me, amazingly.
