Cedar Interpretive Trail

The Cedar Interpretive Trail winds through a State Natural Area called Norway Point Bottomlands. The area was designated in 1979 and encompasses five major lowland plant communities including a southern and northern wet-mesic forest, shrub carr, northern sedge meadow and a .3 mile reach of Iron Creek.

We have developed this trail system through the area so you can study and observe it without harming the fragile environment. See a map. [PDF]

Please stay on the trail and refrain from taking samples of the plants, as numerous visitors picking samples may eventually eliminate them.

As you walk along the boardwalk and the marked path, you will encounter unique plants and points of interest common to this cedar stand. In studying this area, you'll find species not common to drier upland sites. There are also a variety of springs and water seeps along the trail.

The interpretive trail wanders through the cedar stand for approximately 2000 feet. You will need to return on the same route or arrange for a pickup, as the Kohler Peet Route continues for 6 miles to the Clam Flowage Parking Lot.

As a result of beaver and weather activities, you may encounter wet or uneven terrain. We recommend wearing proper footwear, taking caution, and watching for exposed roots, holes, and wood debris on the trail.
