what to expect

Aspen forests cover much of this natural area, with shrubby grassland found only on south-facing slopes. There are small rounded hills (called knobs), with numerous ponds and wetlands (called kettles) scattered throughout. Many of the kettles provide homes for beaver and nesting areas for ducks. This area is part of Cooking Lake Moraine.
