Massawepie is an Iroquois term that means “lake by the marsh”—the source of the name being obvious, with the Massawepie Mire virtually touching Massawepie Lake. The mire is the largest boreal peatland in New York State and critical habitat for birds, including warblers and grouse, as well as carnivorous plants and tamarack and black spruce trees.
