Beaver Dam

I went to the Wolf Lake State Forest Beaver Dam with my biology class. It was a beautiful day and the blue sky was reflected perfectly in the water. The most incredible thing, however, was the size of the beaver dam - it must have been at least six feet tall! We explored the edges of the pond, examined the beaver lodge up close, and even saw a beaver! We also heard the beaver slap the water with his tail as a warning. It was a great way to spend a Monday afternoon.
