This very short hiking trail takes you through an incredibly rare ecosystem for South-Western Ontario: fen. A fen is a type of wetland where there is very little flow of water in or out of the ecosystem, and where the water becomes acidic. The fen is home to rare plants like the carnivorous Pitcher Plant, and Sundew. Stay on the boardwalk - your footprints will otherwise take decades to disappear and this fragile ecosystem is small and cannot weather much damage. You may also see interesting shorebirds from the road.

This short wide boardwalk with bumper boards on both sides was built by local field naturalists groups and intended for wheelchair access as well as for walkers. It winds through the fen across the road from the Lake Huron shoreline allowing views of lady slippers in spring and a mass of gentians and other wildflowers in fall. Interpretive panels are present. Access: Access is on the Shore Road north of Oliphant.
