Big Spring Bog Natural Area Preserve

SITE DESCRIPTION:
The preserve is characterized by low rolling hills sloping towards a small boulder strewn creek which eventually flows into Chestnut Creek, a tributary of the New River. Featured here is an extremely rare wetland community known as a cranberry glade. The glade occurs as a small opening surrounded by a mixed oak-pine forest.

VISITATION:
This preserve has no public access facilities. Part or all of the preserve may be periodically closed for resource protection or prescribed burning activities. Please call before visiting.
