Eshqua Bog is a true marvel of nature just waiting to be discovered. The bog was formed more than 10,000 years ago when the glaciers retreated, leaving little pockets of bog and a large fen which provide the ideal habitat for a number of rare and special plants like ladies’ slippers, cotton grass, pitcher plants and more.
To ensure that everyone can enjoy the June show of flowers, a 460ft accessible boardwalk has been installed. Other activities in the area include hiking, wildlife watching and photography. Hikers can download the Avenza Maps App and the area’s Trail Map to enhance their hiking experience in this very special natural area.
