This is New Munster Wildlife area, Palmer Creek parking lot. I accessed this area from a trail that leads from a parking lot. Unfortunately, after you reach a fallow farm field there are only deer trails. I followed the deer trail as long as I could but never was able to reach the bog. The DNR should communicate this on their website. Nevertheless, I found one Western Red Damsel as I crossed the creek, assuming spring fed. Very little else.
