Tips from locals
The Big Bog is the Nation's largest natural peat moss bog. The one-mile metal boardwalk (suitable for wheelchairs) takes you on a journey through the bog. Weird and wonderful plans and wildlife. Suitable for small kids.
Swimming beach, nature trails, rentals (canoe, kayak, paddle board, boat, snowshoes)
If you are driving up from the cities this is a fun stop on the bog road, hwy 72. You do need a state park sticker. There are two recreational areas, the boardwalk is the furthest north. They have a long boardwalk around a lake and the scenery is very pretty in the fall. Bugs are bad in the summer.
