Reviews
"An absolutely gorgeous nature reserve that allows a view back in time and that the area wouldn't normally get to see. Lots of unique fauna and flora, and while the walk wasn't strenuous it had great sights."
"A well preserved ecosystem primarily for those with an interest and knowledge of plants. This kettle lake formed by a glacier is home to bog plants with a large stand of Larch that were just starting to get their yellow fall color before dropping their needles. Don't forget to look down at all the little details growing at the boardwalk's edge. Good signage for those who want to learn more about how it was formed and the plants that thrive in a bog. Small lot, no toilet facilities."
"This is a great walk if you're looking for something short & shaded but also paved. The trail is all boardwalk around the bog. Lots of birds to listen for & tons of bugs so bug spray may be necessary. Many benches along the way & the boardwalk is perfect for strollers or wheelchairs."
"A definite visit during each season is ideal to see nature at every stage here. Great walking platform that circles through the bog, allowing you to see the many Tamarack trees as well as cranberry and blueberries with a lot of active wildlife throughout. My only complaint is there are no restrooms."
"I visit each season. Winter is a beautiful time to stop. They have signs that explain about the big as you walk through. It’s a well maintained big round trail that starts at the parking lot and takes you right back there. It’s wheelchair and stroller friendly and offers handicap parking spot as well. The entire trail is flat and wood so you won’t get muddy it can become slippery in the winter so use caution if it’s icy. You will be treated to the largest southernmost tamarack trees in the continental United States. The trail is only about half a mile so it’s perfect for everyone!"
