Enjoyed my hike around the bog, signs are very informative as to what to look for. Fauna and Floral.

We had a wonderful time. There is a donation fee of $5.00 per person. No pets as it is a Nature Preserve. There were volunteers on the boardwalk that were quick to answer questions and highlight some of the foliage and animals. The entirety is a boardwalk trail with benches placed throughout to take a rest if needed. The nature center and gift shop was nice. All the workers/volunteers were incredibly sweet.

Google says this is open and usually as busy as it gets. It’s closed. Evidently doesn’t open until February? We will try again but don’t waste the ride out until February. Lots of parking with a visitor center.

Beautiful quiet remote nature 'fen' preserve. All boardwalk through woodland wetlands. Very nice educational signs. $5.00 donation well worth touring this gem.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are the showy lady slippers blooming yet?

I haven't been out to check yet, but they usually bloom the last week of May or the first week of June. You could give them a call tomorrow and I'm sure someone would be able to tell you the best time to view them.
