The Crow Wing State Forest is a state forest located near Fairfield Township in Crow Wing County, Minnesota. It is about Шаблон:Convert northeast of the tourism-based town of Brainerd. Approximately Шаблон:Convert (44%) of the forest of Шаблон:Convert is actively managed. The managed acres are split nearly equally between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Crow Wing County, and the privately owned Potlatch Corp.
Prior to European settlement the area was mainly oak forests and barrens interspersed with pine stands and prairie. Today, Eastern white pine and Norway pine dominate, although stands of oak, aspen, and jack pine occur upland, with wet prairies and conifer bogs in the lowlands.
The interactive Bass Lake Nature Trail (either Шаблон:Convert) introduces users to the forest dynamics present in the forest, including wildfire, snags and its effects on wildlife, and the oak canker, Diplodia quercina. Additional trails located throughout the forest accommodate separate activities, including Шаблон:Convert designated for hiking, Шаблон:Convert for mountain biking, Шаблон:Convert each for Class I and Class II All-terrain vehicle (ATV) use, and Шаблон:Convert for off-highway motorcycling. Picnicking, fishing, and hunting are also commonly practiced outdoor recreation activities. Waterways within the forest also allow canoers, kayakers, and boaters access to the Pine and Mississippi Rivers.[1]
