As you wander along the trails, discover some of the region\u2019s most beautiful views.

The black spruce is one of the most common species there, along with the jack pine, balsam fir, white spruce, and larch. Several deciduous trees, including maple, sugar maple, paper birch, trembling aspen, oak, and linden, also contribute to the richness of this ecosystem. <\/p>\n

The wildlife inhabiting this forest is just as diverse. About thirty species of mammals can be observed there, including the beaver, red fox, coyote, wolf, mink, white-tailed deer, caribou, moose, black bear, muskrat, hare, and wood mouse. More than 150 species of birds<\/strong> also nest there, including the pileated woodpecker, the great gray owl, various species of falcons, owls, and ducks. <\/p>\n
