Map of the Area

Any maps and map views are for general information only. Do not rely on them for navigation or to determine legal boundaries.

Other Information

The portion of this natural area that is adjacent to the river is comprised of river terraces and rolling uplands incised by several creeks. Vegetation includes upland aspen-balsam poplar forest (both mature & second growth), black spruce-larch/dwarf birch wetlands, sedge meadow and some paper birch and balsam poplar stands.

Intervening Parcels of Land between the two portions of the NA is a mix of private, Crown and Parkland County land [1].

Moon Lake is a translation of the original aboriginal name for the nearby small body of water, it is likely descriptive [2].
