The Lorain County Metro Parks is proud to present this exhibit of great and wild proportions. Take a hike through the living pine, fir and spruce forest. See mountains, beaver ponds and a waterfall. Crawl through a beaver lodge and hike up to a bear cave. See full-sized taxidermy of black bear, moose and beaver. Watch with wonder as live hawks, owls and other animals of the boreal forest tell their stories up close and personal.
