The famous Spruce Bog Boardwalk at Algonquin Park is a 1.5-kilometer loop trail offering an easy hike through a northern Black Spruce bog ecosystem. Key facts include its creation from a glacial event, its unique acidic and nutrient-poor environment, and the special plants and animals, such as the Spruce Grouse, that live there. The trail is wheelchair accessible and open year-round, making it popular for birding and family outings.
