After the third marsh on Hwy HH
you will come to an open area where
sphagnum moss is grown. The moss is
known as WI’s invisible industry, since it
is a major, but little known, state resource.
Immediately following the moss area you
will start to see several tamarack trees on
both sides of the road. These trees are
abundant in our area and have a golden
yellow lacy look in the fall. Contrary
to popular belief tamarack trees are not
pine trees and do lose their needles in the
winter.
further is the seventh marsh, Menitz
Marsh, which has beds located on both
sides of the road. Two more miles
down you will see the Walworth Marsh
on the right.
Turn left onto Hwy O. Travel three
miles back to the village of Warrens.
Here you will come back to Main
Street and the WI Cranberry Discovery
Center. Now would be a great time to
stop if you didn’t before you started
your journey through cranberry
country!
The fourth and fifth marshes on Hwy
HH, the Van Etta Marsh and Northland
Marsh, are both located off the main
part of the road. Continue traveling and
watch for the beds of the sixth marsh,
Craig Scott marsh, to the right. A mile
Stock up on all of your favorite
cranberry products, as well as,
knowledge on all things cranberries
before heading back down County
Hwy O to Hwy 12 south to Tomah!
