Cedar Bog is a protected area of about 450 acres of land which remains from the original area of approximately 7,000 acres.
Cedar Bog is, in actuality, a “fen” and not a bog. A fen is a wetland area that drains water, whereas a bog retains water.
Cedar Bog State Nature Preserve is a fen left behind by the retreating glaciers of the Wisconsin glaciation about 12,000-18,000 years ago.
