Lovely to visit when the orchids are blooming, but very very small!

A nature walk filled with breathtaking beauty. Not to mention the rare Lady Slipper flower! I visited during June when the Lady Slippers were vibrant pink. If you come during Spring, the yellow Lady Slippers are in bloom. Part of the road to get to Eshqua is gravel, and it is primarily narrow. Most people also don't have cell reception @ the top. So, if you're unfamiliar with the area and are using your phone for GPS, keep going straight up until you see it on your right. The parking lot is teeny, but you can park off-street. It’s an excellent option if you want to be immersed in nature but don't want to hike. It's also an easy walk and great for individuals of all skill levels since the main drag (where the Lady Slippers are) is a boardwalk. There are short trails after the boardwalk as well.

Very interesting nature preserve dedicated to the lady slippers amd orchids that bloom in June. Beautiful to visit then, with a nice boardwalk through the bog and a pair of trails through the woods. Nice for a 30 - 60 minute visit. Access road is unpaved though, so it takes a little while to get there!

Nice view of the lady slippers, a little difficult to time the short blooming period, but very neat to see when you do

Questions & Answers

Is this wheelchair accessible? How long is the boardwalk?

I think you could probably get on the boardwalk with a wheelchair. The other trails would not be possible.

when are the showy lady slippers in bloom?
