Buzzard Swamp. A 11.2 mile system of inter-connecting trails offers some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities on the Forest. The area is an important link in the Atlantic flyway during the waterfowl migration.
Visitors can cross-country ski, mountain bike, hike, hunt or go bass fishing. Fifteen man-made ponds were constructed in the early 1960’s in partnership with the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Buzzard Swamp is within a special management area that emphasizes wildlife management and recreational opportunities.
Two trailheads provide access to the area.
The Songbird Sojourn Interpretive Trail is a 1.5 mile self-guided nature trail that starts at the Buzzard Swamp 157 trailhead. The trail is marked with gray diamonds. Pamphlets are available at the trailhead and the Marienville Ranger Station
