Importance:
With very little use over the years, the area provides the
opportunity for solitary recreation. The rugged terrain is covered
by dry-mesic northern forests, which including some old-growth.
This surrounds two small lakes that sit 100 feet above the Mulligan
River, with a 100-200 foot tall outcrop to the west. After heavy
rains and during spring runoff, the lakes overflow and cascade over
the outcrop to the river below. The site occurs within an area of
primary moose range. |
