What's Around Spotter Lake?
The land around Spotter Lake is mostly covered by a special type of forest. This forest is called a Mixed coniferous forest. It means you'll find a mix of trees that keep their needles all year (like pine trees) and trees that lose their leaves in the fall.
The area around the lake is very quiet and peaceful. Not many people live there. In fact, there are fewer than two people living in every square kilometer near the lake. This makes it a great place for wildlife and nature to thrive.
