The mature forest in the immediate area includes beech-maple and hemlock-northern hardwood communities which are widespread in New York State plus maple-basswood forests which contain a mixture of species with both northern and southern affinities. The landscape in the vicinity of the city of Oswego contains small patches of mature woods intermixed with successional woodlands, shrub lands, and fields, agricultural properties, and rural and suburban residential areas. Oswego itself is a port city located on Lake Ontario at the mouth of the Oswego River. The Oswego River drains one of the largest watersheds in New York State.

Along the shore of Lake Ontario this topography has eroded to form bluffs alternating with a series of interdrumlin wetlands consisting of bays, lagoons, marshes, swamps, and fens. Eastern and northern Oswego County contains one of the largest collections of wetland habitats in New York State. The county also includes transitional habitats marking the outer reaches of the Tug Hill Plateau.
