Importance:
The Pigeon River Pine area is exemplary because of the over 100 acres of white pine (most
about 100 years old). The Grindstone Creek area encompasses a northern hardwood forest
with many large trees, including some old growth beech and maple trees remaining from the
original forest. It also contains four acres of cedar swamp and a portion of the
Grindstone Creek headwaters. The Dog Lake area is considered to be one of the most remote
and wild areas in the region. Nesting loons, bald eagles, and osprey are a few of the many
animals using the lake. |
