"The best example of a boreal and prairie fen complex in Ohio with many rare plants and animals; excellent orchid and prairie wildflower displays."
--ODNR 1996
Cedar Bog Nature Preserve is the largest and best example of a boreal and prairie fen complex in Ohio. It has many rare plants and animals, as well as excellent orchid, prairie, and woodland wildflower displays.
An almost mile long boardwalk guides the visitor through this preserve of Ohio's recent to Ice Age past. Mastodons probably fed here, and all of the Indian cultures of Ohio lived around here.
LOCATION
Cedar Bog is four miles south of Urbana west off of U.S. Route 68 on Woodburn Road about one mile in Champaign County.
