The Alfred Bog (French: Tourbière d'Alfred) is a domed peat bog in Eastern Ontario, Canada, about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south of Alfred and 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of Ottawa. The bog is considered the largest high-quality bog in Southern Ontario,[1] and was designated by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources as a "Class 1 Wetland" and an "Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI)" in 1984.[2][3] It is home to rare animal species and a healthy moose population.[4]
The wetland, primarily consisting of bog as well as some marsh and swamp, is 10,200 acres (4,100 ha) in size of which 90% is protected as a provincial nature preserve,[4] and planned to become a provincial park.[5] The bog is accessible by a 273-metre (896 ft) long boardwalk.[1]
