One of the most unique features of the forest, the gently sloping basin found here is a hallmark of the glacial history of Minnesota. 

Trees within this unique geographical terrain are generously spaced. Sunlight easily breaks through the canopy here, casting golden hues along the forest floor.

Steps away from a trail, wildflowers grow along the upper edge of the basin. The trees here enjoy filtered views of the lake.

Trees in this area have unobstructed views of Fish Lake. The flat slope at the edge of the lake has generously spaced trees, creating a perfect area for picnicking and enjoying the afternoon sun. Deer and turkeys love being near the water, and can often be seen visiting the edge of the lake.
