The swamp is a high mountain bog formed thousands of years ago. Special

that are usually found only in northern climates. The Swamp is a National
Natural Historic Landmark and managed by the Nature Conservancy.Cranesville
Swamp is a fascinating natural habitat and favorite stopping place

the swamp. This elevated boardwalk provides excellent viewing of the
bog community.
