Shorepine Bog Trail

An approximately 800-meter accessible boardwalk loop across acidic peat bog, where shore pines several hundred years old stand only as tall as a person.

The bog is waterlogged with poor soil, so shore pines grow extremely slowly, forming a bonsai-like landscape. You can also see carnivorous plants such as sundews and sphagnum moss. The entire trail is flat boardwalk, suitable for seniors and strollers, and takes about 30 minutes. It is located near Wickaninnish Road and can be combined with the visitor centre and Florencia Bay. A park day pass is required. Do not leave the boardwalk or step onto the bog.
