Description: Lying in the Kettle Moraine State Forest, this undisturbed bog lake 

 of 35 acres is surrounded by several acres of open bog, tamarack, white cedar, 

 and black spruce. This is the southern limit for black spruce in Wisconsin. Ring- 

 ing the swamp conifers is an area of swamp hardwoods including red maple, 

 black ash, and elm, serving as an excellent buffer zone around the bog. A 

 variety of orchids and sedges are found on the bog. 



Encroachments: The lake has no inlet or outlet and thus suffers a minimum of 

 disturbance from surrounding agricultural lands.
