Headwater Lakes State Natural Area features two unique soft-water lakes, Wabasso Lake and Cedar Lake. Join Naturalist and Author John Bates and paddle Wabasso Lake, a 49-acre very clear, deep, seepage lake with a diverse and unusual aquatic flora, including a boggy shoreline comprised of many carnivorous plant species. As time permits, also walk the portage trail without our boats to Cedar Lake in order to see a small grove of old-growth white pines. Wabasso Lake has a tiny campground where we hopefully can find an open shoreline campsite to sit and enjoy a view of this wild, undeveloped lake for lunch. This site is also recognized by the US Forest Service as an established federal Research Natural Area. Register by July 30th.
