This 82-acre preserve is a bog with its floating sphagnum moss mat, a 7-acre kettle hole lake and an outstanding example of a glacially formed hill known as a kame. Brown's Lake Bog is one of the few remaining kettle hole peat lands in Ohio. The bog and surrounding area of lowland forest were purchased by The Nature Conservancy in 1966 and declared a National Natural Landmark in 1967.
A well marked and maintained hiking trail will allow you to explore this waymark.
