For those interested in nature and unique ecosystems, the Goguka Creek Protected area is situated in the northern muskeg and showcases a beautiful north bog ecosystem.
Stunted black spruce and water-hardy vegetation comprise this remote protected area, providing ideal habitat for moose and black bears. Upon a glance, rare plants such as the pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea), named after the plants’ unusual leaf shape and capacity to hold water and the wild calla lily (Calla palustris) are found within this rare habitat.
In summer, the area is wet and boggy and thick with mosquitoes. The dense vegetation combined with the high water table makes walking almost impossible and dangerous. These factors, combined with the sensitive vegetation, make this area unattractive for any type of summer recreation. There are also no facilities and no developed trails.
