Two notable boreal species, Canada Jay and Boreal Chickadee, can be found here with some regularity. Out of these two species, Boreal Chickadees tend to be reported more reliably here while Canada Jays are more infrequent. 

About this Location

The Bog Bridge Trail starts from the parking area off US-3 and runs eastward. It descends, steadily, down to the First Connecticut Lake. It hits the first bog bridge, in an 800-foot span of bridges. Though not confirmed, this is thought to be the longest series of bog bridges in the northeast. Shortly after leaving the bog bridges, you'll pass over Coon Brook.

The trail loosely follows the upper edge of Connecticut Lake until it comes out to Magalloway Road.
