A mighty Red Oak! There aren't many Red Oaks up here overlooking the lake, so give this one plenty of consideration. The trees around it seem to be leaning in as if to show the Red Oak is the leader of the area with its mighty trunk and canopy of leaves. Wildlife visit often, hoping to pick up a tasty acorn nearby.
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.
