| THIS MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY BE A NATURAL BOG BECAUSE I USED TO RIDE MY BIKE ON THE TRAIL THAT PASSES ALONGSIDE THE BOG AND DON'T REMEMBER THERE BING WATER. I BELIEVE THE PARKS DEPARTMENT MAY HAVE CREATED A WETLANDS BY DIVERTING MILL CREEK SO IT WOULD REMAIN OUT OF IT'S BANKS MOST OF THE TIME. TEN YEARS AGO THE AREAS ADJACENT TO THE BIKE PATH WERE PRETTY PRIMITIVE WITH A LOT OF DEADWOOD AND FLOODED DITCHES BECOMING STAGNANT. THERE WAS A FLOODED AREA ABOUT FORTY FEET WIDE AND THE LENGTH OF A FOOTBALL FIELD THAT NOW HAS NEATLY TRIMMED LIMESTONE BORDERING THE SHORE AND NICELY MAINTAINED LAWNS THAT BLEND WELL WITH THE NEARBY WETLANDS. I USE BOTH BOG AND WETLANDS TO DESCRIBE THE WATER FEATURE BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. ANYWAY I WILL BE RETURNING TO TAKE MORE PICTURES. | ||
