Big Bog State Recreation Area
Big Bog State Recreation Area includes a 500-square-mile peat bog in its northern unit.  “This largely wilderness area is home to moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, gray wolves, fox, bobcat and other mammals. The bog also provides habitat for more than 300 species of birds.”  “From orchids to carnivorous plants to rare birds, visitors will see a mixture of fascinating and rare resources.”
