§ Field Notes

About Dunham Bay Marsh.

Dunham Bay Marsh, along with other Lake George wetlands like Red Maple-Tamarack Peat Swamps and Highbush Blueberry Bog Thickets, offers a unique ecosystem to explore. These areas, though scarce in the Lake George watershed due to its steep slopes, provide critical habitats for diverse plant and animal species. Visitors can enjoy paddling through marshes, observing unique flora like pickerelweed and water lilies, and spotting wildlife such as red-winged blackbirds, dragonflies, and various amphibians and reptiles. The Lake George Association actively works to protect and restore these valuable natural filters.
