Johnville Bog & Forest Park

We went walking at Johnville Bog & Forest Park today... it was a little chilly, but very sunny and a nice day to be outdoors. It was a really interesting place to visit.

Here's more information: Johnville Bog & Forest Park


This wooden walkway leads through most of the park:




Some birch trees on the outer edge of the bog:




Trees growing in the bog:




The bog was surprisingly colorful in some places:




Pine trees are one of few species that can tolerate the low pH here:




There's not a lot of wildlife in the bog... mostly insects:




In places, it looked almost surreal:




A mushroom that looks like a fingernail :)




A tree being pulled down into the bog:



It was a beautiful day for a nature hike:
