The majority of the forest terrain is ...
The majority of the forest terrain is flat to gently rolling with predominantly well-drained, gravelly soils. The forest supports a mixed wood species composition of maturing softwoods and northern hardwoods. Recent openings created by harvesting will encourage young growth that provides habitat for deer, moose, songbirds and others. An all-season gravel road extends into the property for over two miles, providing access to within 1,000 of the Hadley Lake shoreline, while additional unimproved road spurs lead into other parts of the property.
