St. Croix Valley Forest Guide Favorites

This Red Maple is growing as fast as it can! While it reaches for the sky, it still gets enough sunlight to allow for low branches which is a real treat when the leaves start to change colors each fall. It's location by a main trail makes it really easy to get to, whether you are walking or riding in the mobility vehicle.

Monument Red Maple #205

Red Maples are proud to be so prevalent in our forest, and this one wears it well. One of the tallest trunks in the area, this Maple has a gentle, moss-covered base, combined with low, full branches that make it a welcoming shelter and great place for reflection.

Monument Red Maple #238

with 100 reforestation saplings planted in honor

From tip to toe, this Red Maple is stunning. The "toes" of its base show personality and offer a strong trunk to support the amazingly high and beautiful canopy. Just a few feet off the main trail with a gorgeous lake view, this tree is a find!

A Red Maple with a double trunk is twice the beauty! The location is convenient and a nice walk from the Welcome Tent. The canopy is brilliant and this tree's future looks bright!

Monument Bigtooth Aspen #1129

This is an amazing Bigtooth Aspen - just look at how the bark changes to look like a birch at the top! All aspens have this coloring, but this is a particularly impressive example. This tree loves where it lives!

Monument Bigtooth Aspen #1138

It's a good feeling to be the tallest tree in the neighborhood, and this one is clearly happy. The gentlest of sways in the trunk as it rises show off how graceful these beauties can be.

Monument Red Maple #2404

This tree is one-of-a-kind! Look at the size of each of its 2 trunks! Look up at the gorgeous spread of branches and leaves! Look to one side and see the basin formed by a glacier, and to the other side and see Fish Lake! You'll be hard-pressed to find anything less than magnificence with this tree.
