Preserve History

Old Fly Marsh was one of the first to come under the protection of the Land Trust. The initial parcel of 67 acres was purchased in 1974 and the second parcel of 9.8 acres was purchased in 1978. Funds to procure these parcels were raised by middle and high school students from area schools who participated in walkathons.

Site Features

Old Fly Marsh has an extensive trail system, bird blind, observation deck, benches, and a canoe launch. The waters of Old Fly Marsh are home to beaver and muskrat who give our stewardship department a run for their money every year with annual clean outs of beaver debris. The pond is a significant resting place for migrating waterfowl and a nesting site for wood ducks.
