Muskeg is the name of a swamp or bog made up of a deep accumulation of decaying vegetation and sand or soil. There may be similar accumulations in the northern parts of many areas of the world but only the North American (Canadian) sites were initially named muskeg a word borrowed from the Cree First Nation's language word "maskek" (a low lying marsh).In other locations muskeg may be called a peat bog, quagmire, swamp land, mire, fen or marsh.
