Rosecrans Bog Natural Area is a 152-acre (62 ha) protected area in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of Bald Eagle State Forest.[1][2]
Description
The Natural Area was established to protect a high-elevation swamp of a type uncommon in Pennsylvania, containing cranberry, mountain holly, and high-bush blueberry.[1] The area is a natural bog, but the current swamp was formed in the 1960s by a beaver dam, and many dead trees still rise from the water.[2]
