That’s a spruce bog. Beavers basically killed a lake and now it’s poison.
“The two main features of a bog are the lack of oxygen in the water and the fact that the water is very acidic. There are only a few different kinds of plants that can grow under these conditions. Most of these are the shrubs called Leatherleaf and the green sphagnum moss that grows under the Leatherleaf.”
