About three billion years ago, it was a mountain range. Relatively recently about years ago it was carved and scraped out by the most recent ice age. It is now part of the great boreal forest region.
The boreal forset includes such tree species as jack pine, trembling aspen, balsam poplar, black spruce, white birch, white spruce, balsam fir. Wildlife that can be found along the trail includes beaver, muskrat, snapping turtles wetlands black manhario, fox, skunk, many bird species including balk eagles, osprey, gray jays and various owls.
