Seneca Meadows – it sounds romantic, right? Well you may be surprised to learn that Seneca
Meadows is actually a major waste management and recycling facility located just northeast of
Waterloo, NY. But what makes Seneca Meadows so unique (and such a draw for both locals and
visitors) is the more than 1100 acres of Wetland Preserve that Seneca Meadows created and
propagated.

Seneca Meadows Wetland Preserve is a great example of habitat creation. Once known as the Dove Farm, the Preserve is now host to Least Bittern, Grasshopper Sparrows, AM. Bittern, Savannah Sparrows, Bobolink. This past year Dickcissels made an apperance on the Preserve. With over 7 miles of walking trails and 2 neat observation platforms it will keep you coming back.

This is a great area. Only did the main loop, but it was an easy enough trail. Air is crisp on this beautiful winter morning. Highly recommend this!

Good trails, both short and long. Issues with water when wet. Parking lot could be better. Usually standing water. Great in spring and summer. Not a lot of shade. Some small ponds. Usually not many people.

We really do not care for this trail. It is okay when they first maintain it - then it is awful. Overgrown, bug infested and all open to the elements - it is washed out and loaded with ankle twisting holes or exposed ground cloth. Every once in awhile we try it again but always regret it.

No flowers up yet. Saw a heron, kildeer, vultures, and many birds. Lots of ponds. Looks like they did a control burn to promote growth. I'll be back.

Great hike for all ages. Easy going terrain that has well maintained paths that are marked fairwell. A hidden gem that has alot of wildlife. The landscape is not overly breathtaking, but the vast array of birds and butterflies was a pleasure enjoy.

Completly Georgious area. Go for a run, a walk, or just to get away. Mountain biking through the trails is easy and great except for the back part where a pond has moved into the path for a .25 mile stretch. All together about 4.5-5.5 miles of path and its 5-10 miles from town and really secluded for being so close.

This is such a unique place containing many plants and grasses you would only find in prairie environments. It was created to help offset the land used for the giant landfill that is outside of Seneca Falls and takes trash from downstate cities. Expect to see a lot of unique flowers and insects here too
