Tom S. Cooperrider-Kent Bog State Nature Preserve, Nature reserve in Portage County, United States.
A 45-acre protected area features a half-mile boardwalk trail that circles through wetlands containing the largest collection of tamarack trees in Ohio.
The preserve formed after the Wisconsin Glaciation when a chunk of ice created a kettle hole lake, gradually transforming into a peat-filled bog.
The site bears the name of Tom S Cooperrider, a Kent State University professor who dedicated his research to understanding and documenting Ohio's plant species.
The accessible boardwalk includes educational signs explaining local plants and geology, with a parking area located directly at the trail entrance.
The preserve contains rare tamarack trees, which differ from typical conifers by shedding their needles each winter, creating a distinctive seasonal landscape.
