_ Lost Creek Bog State Natural Area
_
Located along Lake Superior in the Town of
Bell, the Lost Creek Bog State Natural Area includes a rich wetland complex and
Lake Superior estuary at the mouths of three small creeks (Lost Creeks 1, 2, and
3) where they empty into Siskiwit Bay. Shore fen, grading to open sedge bog, shrub swamp, and
northern wet forest dominated by tamarack are the major habitats in the natural
area. The site harbors state
listed endangered species as well as several rare species, migratory waterfowl
and other birds. In 2009, the
Conservancy purchased additional properties at Lost Creek and conveyed them to
the DNR for annexation on to the Natural Area.
