This is a preserved area that features a system of gravel trails leading you through a mosaic landscape of oak woodland and wetlands. The forest is mostly composed of native plants, and is home to many species of animals and birds. Sun Lake is a glacial lake that is part of the protected area, though due to the delicate nature surrounding it, the lake can’t be accessed.
