Hi everyone! I’ve heard some rumors going around, and we got a question at the MAC, that Carncross Rd leading to Howland’s Island has been washed out at some point. I haven’t been in the area recently so I checked with the DEC on Morgan Rd. The road is not washed out. There was water over the road a few weeks ago but there isn’t now. If anyone ever has questions about access to or use of lands in the NYSDEC Northern Montezuma Wildlife Management Area (including Howland’s Island, Guys Marsh, the Montezuma Audubon Center land, among others) you are welcome to contact the DEC directly at (315) 365-2134, this is the Morgan Rd office and they can provide the most accurate and up to date information.
Have a great weekend.

Are there specific routes that are better for birders? Do you recommend a driving loop or walking? Thanks for any insights you can offer.
