Montezuma Marsh, Natural landmark wetland complex in Finger Lakes Region, New York, United States
The Montezuma Marsh spans over 10,000 acres at the northern end of Cayuga Lake, featuring channels, pools, and wetlands that support diverse ecosystems.
The Erie Canal construction in 1825 required winter excavation through the marsh to protect workers from mosquito-borne diseases during warmer months.
The name Montezuma was given to the area in 1806 when Dr. Peter Clark named his residence after the Aztec Emperor's palace.
The marsh contains multiple observation points and walking trails that remain accessible from sunrise to sunset throughout the year.
A 22-foot steel eagle statue stands near the New York State Thruway, marking the success of the region's bald eagle restoration program.
