About Orono Bog Boardwalk
The Orono Bog Boardwalk is a roughly one-mile loop that begins at the Bangor City Forest and winds into the Orono Bog. Along the way, walkers pass a range of wetland plant communities and ecosystems. Full-color signs describe native species. The route is wheelchair accessible and has benches spaced along it for resting. The boardwalk was recently rebuilt in full, and it is run as a joint effort of the University of Maine, the City of Bangor, and the Orono Land Trust. Dogs, bicycles, running, stepping off the path, and picking plants are not allowed.
