A haven for exotic plants and unique wildlife, this sanctuary is one of the most peaceful places to spend an afternoon. Life here is centered around a 3-acre bog in the middle of the woods, where you can observe this parks lively fauna and flora. Dry sphagnum moss, carnivorous pitcher plants, and towering black spruce trees surround this ancient body of water, which several thousand years ago was over 100-acres wide. Blue jays and dragonflies hover over the marsh, while red foxes and muskrats can be heard rustling in the woods. Everywhere you look, it seems as if there is something fascinating waiting for you in this lush oasis-like sanctuary.
