Bogus Swamp State Natural Area

www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/sna

This 870-acre site is a combination of open wetland types. The major feature is the broad muskeg of stunted tamarack and black spruce over a ground cover of sphagnum mosses, sedges, and bog shrubs. Along the northern boundary flows an intermittent, mineral-rich stream lined with emergent aquatic plants and sedge meadow. South of this zone is an unusual -ôpatterned bog-ö, one of only two well-developed examples of this type in Wisconsin.
