The bog is filled with a marvelous array of intricate plants, each well adapted to its particular place in the bog structure. Because the boardwalk wends its way through a variety of elevations and water conditions, what flourishes in one spot may not even survive in another. Visitors are encouraged to spend time at each station, examining the bog closely. It can help to kneel on the boardwalk and peer down over the side, and to bring binoculars that will bring delicate bog orchids and carnivorous sundews and pitcher plants into clear view.

These photos are just to whet your appetite. To enlarge any photo, just double-click on it and wait for the picture to load.
