    A good stop for looking at a bog, easy to access. Stay on the path. Might be prettier in the fall, but easily take an hour to appreciate fully.

    The bog is well worth a short stop after you've done the Skyline trail. The purple pitcher plants were blooming, and we also saw sundews and bladderworts. Short, easy boardwalk with useful signage.

    My husband loved this trail as he loves botany. He saw plants here that he has never seen. This is a short, easy boardwalk walk around the bog.
