Trip made in: September

STATE PARK RATING: CHIPPEWA MORAINE STATE RECREATION AREA

****

Topography and Geology of area-

Land has extensive basin of clay that prevent many of the kettle’s water to seep into the ground, though there are number of kettles that are around only part of the year as they are reabsorbed.

Tall and short grass prairie, woods, kettles, and lakes.

Common activities:

Hiking, walking, fishing, picnicking, boating, and naturalist programs.

We walked on the Mammoth trail and discovered to our amazement that the trail brought us to many different locations that had a variety of kettles of different sizes and shapes. There was a lot of literature and explanations as to how many of them were formed by the glaciers and how fish populated some of them.

Here is my new car in action. A storm up ahead will we get wet?




Here is one of the large lakes and the surrounding short grass prairie.


Here we are prepared for the rain as it rained off and on during our trip to this park. Dale loves that umbrella! Tim was happy to be in Dale's arms under the umbrella.



Here is a smaller lake.
