This Midwest native tree features showy white flowers in early spring followed by pea-sized fruits in late summer, which are devoured by local wildlife.

  • Serves as a host to six species of butterflies and moths
  • Attracts pollinators like honey bees with its clusters of small white flowers
  • Its cherries are edible and used often to make wine, jams and jellies
  • Among the most important sources of food for forest wildlife, it's a particular favorite of the black bear
  • Can live up to 250 years and grow up to 125 feet tall

  • Access trees by a wide trail on the ridge or a path at lake level
  • Enjoy vistas of the lake from every tree, whether at water’s edge or from the forest above
  • Spot water-loving wildlife like deer, turkeys, swans, loons and eagles

All of the trees in Shoreline Vista enjoy lakefront views. Some pepper the banks of Fish Lake and others climb a gentle slope towards the rest of the forest, providing a unique vantage point from the ledge above.

Most trees in this section are accessible from a wide trail along the ridge. Others can be reached by a path at lake level. In warmer months, a pair of common loons has been frequently spotted in the lake, along with the occasional swan or bald eagle overhead.
