The Cranberry in Pennsylvania

By Linda Tancs

Known locally as “The Cranberry,” Tannersville Cranberry Bog Preserve in Pennsylvania is a remnant of the Ice Age, producing the southernmost boreal bog east of the Mississippi River and a unique ecosystem. It boasts some of North America’s most beautiful native orchids, including rose pogonia and the state-endangered heart-leaved twayblade. The Boardwalk Trail is open only with guided access, but other trails are open to self-guided visitors and feature a mature oak hardwood forest and wetland habitats.
