| This new recreation area is under development. Big Bog is Minnesota's last true wilderness. The bog, which has long been a source of medicinal plants for the Ojibwe Indians, represented a barrier to European settlers who tried in vain to drain it. Today, many of the native plants, including yellow-eyed grass, bog rush & two kinds of sundews, are on Minnesota's endangered or threatened species list. Recreation activities in the area are designed to complement & not disrupt the fragile ecosystem. Activities include birdwatching, camping, fishing, orchid photography, snowmobiling, picnicking & boating. The bog boardwalk is expected to be completed in 2004. |
