Designated a National Landmark in 1974 for its outstanding example of a northern peat bog and featuring a mile-long wooden walkway that passes through its mixed wooded fen and into the peat bog, the Orono Bog is the perfect opportunity to witness a few of Maine’s fascinating ecosystems. The boardwalk is accessible, contains educational signs illustrating common yet diverse species of flora and fauna found throughout the bog, and provides benches along the route for rest and observation.
