The Amherst Marsh (1530 hectares) is located between Amherst and the Fort Lawrence ridge. The land was once covered by tidal waters and is underlain with rich marine silt. The upper reaches of the marsh are bog with organic detritus over the marine silt as deep as 6 feet in some areas. There are about 20 lakes in the upper area of the marsh, which provide resting sites for waterfowl.
