Potawatomi Nature Preserve

Contact: Rich Dunbar

A natural lake, cattail marshes, sedge meadows, tamarack and yellow birch swamps and adjoining uplands covered with hardwoods are features of this preserve. It is an outstanding example of the original landscape in the Northeastern Morainal Lake Region. Lake Lonidaw is nestled in a depression bordered by marsh vegetation and an adjoining tamarack-black ash swamp. Other wet places support not only tamarack and black ash, but also yellow birch and red maple. The higher morainal ridges support stands of red oak, white oak, wild black cherry, shagbark hickory, and sugar maple.
