Today we find ourselves in one of the rarest ecosystems in the Province of Saskatchewan. The Fen trail at Duck Mountain Provincial Park is home to one of three protected Calcareous Fens within Saskatchewan Provincial Park Borders. This Calcareous Fen is home to a wild abundance of plant life which includes: Sedges, Grasses, Mosses, Lichen, wildflowers and willows. This Fen also harbors a wide variety of rare and endangered plants including 26 species that do not live anywhere else in the Park and two species of Orchid that are found no where else in the province. The Fen trail is 600 meters long and includes a 300 meter boardwalk to protect the fragile ecosystem of the Calcareous Fen.
