Cedarburg Bog State Natural Area — Attraction in Town of Saukville

A lovely trail into the Bog that is well maintained (nothing was blocking the path and I did not see any garbage during my walk).

The trail is an easy hike, perfect for beginners. The trail alternates between dirt and wood paths, and in most places two people can walk between. Parts of the trail were very muddy (it's a bog) so plan accordingly. I also noticed two benches (one at Watt Lake and one before starting the Meadow Trail) so if you are someone that needs to sit often, keep in mind there are only two opportunities.

The trail leads either to Watt Lake or a Meadow (it diverges) and neither trails circle back to the trailhead, so you will have to back track. It took me about 30 minutes to walk to Watt Lake and back, which included pausing to read the informational signs posted along the way.

On the north end there is a trail to a lake and another trail that has a boardwalk over the bog, then through woods that aren’t too dense and have many birch trees, and then on to a Meadow Trail loop. Both trails can be completed in about an hour at a leisurely pace.

There are informational signs along the trails from a friends group talking about the...

The trail to the Lake was a short and easy walk, I would highly recommend it if you have a short amount of time to get out and do something.

The trail to the meadow, while also beautiful, was not well marked after it split off the lake trail, and there are other trails that split off that are probably not supposed to be there.

While we enjoyed the trail, it got very narrow and overgrown in portions so we unfortunately didn't make it to the end and turned around while we were still certain where...
