Cooperrider-Kent Bog State Nature Preserve protects an unusual wetland landscape near Kent, including tamarack trees and vegetation associated with colder northern habitats.
A boardwalk offers a focused way to encounter this sensitive remnant of the region’s glacial past.
Follow the state’s current visitor guidance and remain on the designated boardwalk. Pets are not permitted, and the preserve has no restroom facilities. The photograph shows the boardwalk during an earlier visit rather than present footing or seasonal vegetation. Plan a quiet nature outing and avoid stepping into the bog or collecting plants from the protected habitat.
