Massawepie Mire

The Massawepie Mire, the largest bog in New York State

The Massawepie Mire is a boreal peatland bog in Piercefield, New York, located near Massawepie Lake. Covering an area of over 900 acres,[1] the mire is the largest bog in New York State.[2] This large size is due to its position in a large, shallow glacial basin.[3]
