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.
Cedar Bog is located in Champaign County four miles south of Urbana, west off of U.S. Route 68 on Woodburn Road.
