Quaking Bog

A unique habitat located in Theodore Wirth Park, the Quaking Bog is worth a visit. Nearly 200 mature tamaracks shade the understory sphagnum moss of the hidden five-acre acid bog. It's a great site for dragonfly/damselfly observation. Walk quietly and listen for frogs and songbirds. A floating dockway crosses the open moat to the kettle depression of the quaking bog. Please stay on the boardwalk to avoid compacting this rare ecosystem.
