| |
The Turtle Mountain State Forest is the largest block of forested
land in the State Forest system. It contains examples of prairie grasslands,
at the south end, with steep draws and oak Savannah forests. As you climb
out of the foothills heading north towards the Canadian border, you will
experience dense aspen forests, mixed hardwood forests, small lakes and wetlands.
Wildlife is abundant with deer, moose, ruffed grouse, waterfowl and songbirds
common. There is an extensive trail system for hiking, mountain biking and
horseback riding during the summer and snowmobiling and cross-country skiing
in the winter. Within the boundaries of the State Forest are Strawberry Lake
Recreation Area, Hahn's Bay Recreation Area and Twisted Oaks picnic area.
All
provide trail head access to the trail system.
