Experience the forest of old at the Chippewa National Forest's
"Lost Forty," a unique area in the Chippewa National Forest. The
original Government Land Survey in 1882 described the land of
the Lost Forty as part of Coddington Lake. This mapping error
caused the virgin pine of the area to be left behind by loggers
at the turn of the century. The Lost Forty is actually 144 acres
of red and white pine that are up to 350 years old and between
22 and 48 inches in diameter. A one-mile self-guided trail winds
its way through the majestic pines of the Lost Forty. |
