Located off of Uncas Road, in the Pigeon Lake Wilderness, this is a short hike to a floating boardwalk, and observation deck. There is only parking for three vehicles. Ferd's Bog is birding hotspot! Designated an "Important Bird Area" by the National Audubon Society, Ferd's Bog is home to boreal birds that are rare in New York State. It's named for Ferdinand LaFrance, who was an avid 1970's birder. He discovered a rare woodpecker in the area that now graces his name. Tamaracks, pitcher plants and many other bog plants are found here. A plastic boardwalk was used since it won't leak toxins as treated wood can.
Come along this week to see what can be seen from the end of that boardwalk!
