DESCRIPTION

A short, self interpreted loop on an elevated boardwalk over a bog.  The bog is 
home to frogs, pitcher plants, orchids and a variety of tiny birds with loud 
songs.  The small black spruce and tamarack trees found here are actually much 
older than you would think.  Even the smallest ones are 50 years old or more!  

Within the park, there are washrooms, picnic areas, parking, camping, and pay 
phones.  Near to the park are motels, other campgrounds, banks, gas stations, 
restaurants, and a general store.
