The environment of the Upper Red Lake region is blessed with huge forests and wilderness areas, rich agricultural land, hundreds of tributaries and hundreds of smaller lakes, and extensive mineral deposits. The region's glacial history and the tremendous influence of the lake themselves create unique conditions that support a wealth of biological diversity, including rare species and ecosystems. The environment supports world-class fishing and a variety of wildlife, such as white-tailed deer, beaver, muskrat, weasel, fox, black bear, bobcat, moose and other fur bearing animals. Bird populations thrive on the various terrains, some migrating south in the winter, others making permanent homes. A great number of species of fish are found in the Upper Red Lake Lakes, including crappies, northern pike, perch, whitefish and recovering walleyes. The region's sandy shores, marshes, forests, wetlands and other landscapes contain features that are either unique or best represented with- in the Upper Red Lake Area. For example, the south edge of the Big Bog, the last remains of Lake Agassiz, a huge inland sea formed by the melting of the Pleistocene Glacier. What remains is grand and inspiring!!
