Moss Lake Bog located in the town of Caneadea, New York, outside of Houghton, New York is a 83-acre (340,000 m2) glacial kettle lake which filled with melt water and rain. Over time, sphagnum moss has grown over the open water, turning it into an acidic bog. It is managed by the Nature Conservancy. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in May 1973[1]
It is open to the public daily. There is a trail which circles the lake and a boardwalk which lets you cross safely through the moss.[2] Many types of carnivorous plants and over 75 species of birds have been sighted.[3]
