This month, Iâm excited to visit Drowned Lands Swamp, one of Columbia Countyâs hidden treasures. Drowned Lands is located at 645 County Route 3 in Ancram. If youâre using GPS to navigate, you may need to watch for the entrance sign as you approach. When you visit, keep your dog on a leash, carry out everything you carry in, and bring a pair of binoculars, if you have them! Drowned Lands is an incredible spot for birding, especially during spring and fall migrations, so you may wish to download the eBird app before you head out so that you can track who youâre seeing.
