Kanokolus Bog is one of SRLT's three Forever Wild preserves, designated by the wishes of the donor to provide a quiet place to enjoy nature and one of the region's unique wetland complexes. Habitats found within Kanokolus Bog Preserve boundaries are high in biological diversity, and include a raised level bog and forested wetlands, most notably northern white cedar swamp and northern white cedar woodland fen. Along an early stretch of the trail you will pass through a former pine plantation that is slowly transitioning into a spruce fir woodland. This diverse system includes a variety of plants, such as mountain holly, huckleberry, marsh fern, sheep laurel, and sweet gale, and wildlife, such as snowshoe hare, fisher, and fox. Hunting is not allowed on the preserve, but it is allowed on neighboring lands so it may be wise to wear blaze orange while walking the Kanokolus Bog trails.
