Strong Swamp

Strong Swamp is a 65-acre wetland basin in the Brant Lake region — more bog and marsh than open water, the kind of place that holds wood ducks, great blue herons, and moose tracks in the mud but doesn't show up on paddling itineraries. The name is accurate: this is working swamp habitat, not a swimming hole, and access is limited to whatever old logging roads or property lines might thread through the perimeter. No fish data on file, which tracks for a shallow, mucky system more interested in dragonflies than trout. Worth knowing about if you're studying wetland ecology or hunting the margins in October — otherwise, it's a dot on the map between better-known waters.
