About this place Quaking Bog — Theodore Wirth Park

Theodore Wirth Park is the largest park in Minneapolis. The wooded trails around the Quaking Bog and Birch Pond have been reported for decades as a cruising area for men, mostly in the warm months, from daytime into the evening. We haven't verified current activity, and the bog boardwalk is also popular with walkers and birdwatchers. Park Police patrol the parkway lots, the park closes at midnight, and sex in public is illegal. Stay away from the main trails and the boardwalk, be discreet, and bring insect repellent in midsummer. Don't leave anything visible in your car.

Huge carpet mats of sphagnum…but no pitcher plants or sundews I could see. Likely tucked into the deep harder to access regions of the bog

Still being reconstructed but was not walking in deep mud like the last time I went.

I really miss coming here. I want this place to be protected and cherished as long as possible. Please be respectful to the environment here. There's something so incredibly sacred and spiritual here... Sometimes I used to just hike here for hours. If you need some peace and quiet or spiritual respite, this is the place to go. Thinking about it now makes me want to cry. A very beautiful spirit lives here. Be nice to it!
