>Map >Satellite Adjacent to Big Lagoon, at the southern end, is this sphagnum bog surrounded by a spruce-fir forest. It is the southern outpost of a number of widespread Holarctic species characteristic of the Pacific Northwest, including sundew, Drosera rotundifolia, and the rare club moss, Lycopodiella inundata.
Other plants present include water hemlock, Cicuta douglasii, Western skunk cabbage, Lysichiton americanum, Labrador tea, Ledum glandulosum, white rein orchid, Platanthera leucostachys, and twinberry, Lonicera involucrata.
The area is also an excellent location for the red algae, Batrachospernum sp.
Integrity: There is a road in the bog, but the area is now fully protected as a County Park.
Use: Educational, research, observational.
