Buzzard Swamp Access provides entry to an 11. 2-mile trail system in the Allegheny National Forest with two trailheads (Forest Road 157 and Forest Road 376 near Marienville) offering easy-terrain hiking, cross-country skiing, and mountain biking.

Non-motorized boating is permitted on 15 man-made ponds throughout the area, though boats must be carried in (nearest pond is 1 mile from trailhead).

This location is renowned for exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly during spring waterfowl migration when 20-25 species can be observed.
