Wolf Lake is a beautiful freshwater lake in Ontario, Canada. It is located in the Sudbury District. This lake is very special because it is part of the Wolf Lake Forest Preserve. This preserve is home to the world's largest remaining old-growth red pine forest.
Wolf Lake: A Special Place
Wolf Lake is known for its amazing old-growth red pine forest. An "old-growth" forest means the trees are very old and have not been cut down by people. The trees around Wolf Lake are estimated to be between 140 and 300 years old! These ancient trees make the area very unique and important.
Protecting Wolf Lake's Forest
The Wolf Lake Forest Preserve is a protected area. This means the government helps to keep it safe from harm. It is located within the Chiniguchi River Waterway Provincial Park. In 2012, the government confirmed that the Wolf Lake Old Growth Forest Reserve would stay protected. This helps to make sure these old trees and the lake are safe for a long time.
