Bog Trail

The Bog Trail covers 1.8 miles through wetland terrain, likely on boardwalk or planking in sections to keep hikers above the saturated ground. Bog environments in the Adirondacks support specialized plants like pitcher plants, sundews, and sphagnum moss that thrive in acidic, nutrient-poor conditions. Expect a relatively flat walk with opportunities to observe this distinct ecosystem up close.
