Depth to the seasonal high water table ranges from plus 1.0 to 0.5 feet during November to June in most years. Commonly flooded and frequently flooded phases are recognized. Surface runoff is negligible. Permeability is moderately slow to moderately rapid in the organic material and rapid or very rapid in the sandy material. Most of this soil is in native vegetation.
Some areas are in cattails, marsh grasses, reeds, and sedges.
Most areas are forested with black ash, quaking aspen, balsam fir, black spruce, tamarack, northern white-cedar, and paper birch. A small part is used for permanent pasture. Grand Traverse County, Michigan, 1963.
