McLean Bogs is a National Natural Landmark containing two small kettle bogs located in Dryden, New York.[1][2] It was donated to Cornell University by Curtis G. Lloyd in the 1930s,[3] and an 81-acre (33 ha) site containing the bogs and surrounding woodlands was declared a National Natural Landmark in May 1983.[4]

The site contains two bogs; one acidic and one alkaline.[4] One bog is approximately 70 metres (230 ft) wide with a peat depth of eight metres (26 ft) and contains several species of sphagnum moss.[5] There are over 66 species of lichens in the bog, primarily corticolous and lignicolous types.

Cornell Botanic Gardens manages the site and restricts public access.[6] One of the key research areas in the bog is to better understand how different types of microbial species creates methane gas in peat bogs.[7]
