Though none of these salmon returns are strong enough to support much fishing, they are fun to watch along the park trails and at the Eagle River Nature Center. Local lakes are stocked with rainbow trout and dollyvarden with easy access for young fishermen. Red Fox Only weighing 6 to 15 pounds, red foxes are quite the predator of voles, mice, rabbits, squirrels, insects, and birds. Unlike coyotes and wolves, foxes don't run down their prey but jump 3 feet into the air and land on their victims. They like broken country with hills and lowland marshes.
Red foxes are shy, and stay out of view from most human activities.
Their most common color is red, with white chest, black legs, and white tipped tail. In February and March red foxes begin courting while other animals are struggling to survive. The normally solitary animals pair up for 6 to 8 weeks. Foxes often take over dens of marmots, ground squirrels and other burrowing animals expanding to fit their needs. As summer goes on foxes visit their dens less and less leaving the young to depend on themselves.
