This strong Keepsake Red Maple is growing daily on a hillside, nestled between two trails - one above and one below, making it a bit more challenging to approach directly but offering an amazing view in all directions. Its smooth bark is just starting to ridge as is normal for a healthy, growing Red Maple, and will be fascinating to watch over the years as it ages.
All of the trees in Shoreline Vista enjoy lakefront views. Some pepper the banks of Fish Lake and others climb a gentle slope towards the rest of the forest, providing a unique vantage point from the ledge above.
Most trees in this section are accessible from a wide trail along the ridge. Others can be reached by a path at lake level. In warmer months, a pair of common loons has been frequently spotted in the lake, along with the occasional swan or bald eagle overhead.
