Bog Trail – Interesting Plants

One of the more interesting trails for plants in Cape Breton Highlands National Park is the Bog Trail.  A short interpretive trail that takes on average 20-30 minutes to complete and that includes time for taking pictures.  A great trail to have a DSLR  camera with a zoom and macro lens for closeup photos of plants or a point and shoot camera using the closeup setting. .

Take time to stop and read the interpretive panels and learn more about these interesting plants.  This is a loop trail is on a boardwalk due to sensitive areas.
