Spruce Bog Boardwalk
A 1.5 km wooden boardwalk beside the visitor centre, for observing northern spruce peat bogs and rare birds.
Located about 42.5 km along Highway 60, most of this 1.5 km loop is a wooden boardwalk. It is flat and easy, suitable for families and visitors with limited mobility. Along the way you can learn about peat bogs in the northern coniferous forest and insectivorous plants such as pitcher plants. It is a birdwatching hotspot, where you often see gray jays, spruce grouse and black-backed woodpeckers. In winter, the trail remains walkable once it has been packed down with snow, and bird activity is best in the early morning.
