Maple Tract Preserve is part of the Fern Ridge Bog complex, a 1,390‑acre landscape permanently protected through a partnership between Wildlands Conservancy, The Nature Conservancy, and Tunkhannock Township. This glacial bog system supports rare and declining species, including the northern flying squirrel, while protecting downstream water quality.

The 688‑acre preserve features over 7 miles of trails through wetlands, forests, and along Tunkhannock Creek. Our hike will travel sections of Brian’s Trail, maintained by dedicated volunteers. Trail options allow participants to complete shorter or longer loops depending on preference. Terrain consists of single‑ and double‑track trails over gently rolling forested land.
