Mer Bleue Bog
The Mer Bleue Bog is an unusual treasure—a perfectly preserved Northern Boreal ecosystem located just outside the Ottawa urban centre. Park on Ridge Road (off Anderson) and head into the bog, and follow the signs that give you a history of how the bog was formed. From there, it's an easy one kilometre loop around the bog on a wooden pathway, with lots of great places to stop and spot beaver dams, unique plants, rare spotted turtles, tons of birds, and if you're really lucky, maybe even a moose or two. At the end of the path there's a great spot for a picnic.
