Review:
Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge is a lovely wildlife preserve overseen by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, located within the town of Tyre approximately halfway between the cities of Rochester and Syracuse.
The scenic Seneca County refuge is anchored around Cayuga Lake's Montezuma Swamp and Marshes, which were designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1973.
Today, they protect one of New England's best examples of undisturbed swamp woodlands, spanning 10,000 acres along the Atlantic Flyway migratory bird trail.
Visitors can observe native wildlife, including significant populations of migratory bald eagles, during daylight hours seven days a week at the preserve.
Hiking and biking trails are offered throughout the preserve, along with the 3.5-mile Wildlife Drive auto tour route.
