The Bluff Spring Fen is a unusual place for a pleasant day hike of two hours or less. It centers on a warm-water spring (50 degrees) that runs year-round and supports a rare ecology of plants and animals. The topography is varied, including prairie, glacial kames, and stands of burr oak as well as the spring stream. In addition to unusual flowers, weve often seen deer on a hike. A dedicated group of odd-balls known as the Friends of the Fen have done a great job of cleaning up what was formerly an abused dumping ground and limiting and eliminating invasive species to restore this unique corner - bravo! Located next to the historic and scenic Bluff City Cemetery where old war memorials and tombstones may be seen on hilly walks. Access to the Fen is through the Cemetery, read the signs, dont get locked in. See the website for tour and volunteer opportunities.

Needs marked trails. Trails that come up with map are not on ground. Also trails need to be wider. Confusing trails.
