In the midst of dense tree cover in Nicolet National Forest, typical of the Lake Superior Highlands, four large crystal-clear springs form the headwaters of Blackjack Creek. Here, glaciation from the last ice age has produced a rolling and uneven terrain. In the northeastern section, you will find the delightfully named Whispering Lake, surrounded by forest that provides habitat for black bears, deer, fishers, ruffed grouse, and a variety of sweet-throated songbirds. Three streams drain the area, and produce occasional ponds and wetlands.
Visitors come to hunt and fish, paddle and hike.
