Welcome!
Welcome to Ponemah Bog Wildlife Sanctuary, one of New Hampshire Audubon’s most treasured natural places. This 75-acre sanctuary came under the protection of the organization in 1979 through the generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Homer McMurray and local friends of the sanctuary.
The name “Ponemah'' is an Ojibwe word that refers to the “land of the hereafter” from Longfellow’s “Hiawatha.”
The sanctuary’s primary feature is a three-acre ‘kettlehole’ pond surrounded by a floating sphagnum mat and encircled by upland oak-pine woods. The Bog Trail is mostly narrow bog bridges (boardwalk) with spur trails to four viewing platforms.
Take advantage of this virtual experience to learn more about this unique ecosystem before, or after you visit. And if you are unable to make the trip, this is also an opportunity to experience Ponemah Bog.
