 | | Round Lake State Park is a 58-acre lake that is one million years in the making. It is a product of glacial activity dating back to the Pleistocene Epoch. A walk on the two-mile "Trappers" nature trail around the lake will take visitors under canopies of varied trees. The smaller plant life in the park ranges from those plants that grow in dry conditions to those that grow in damp and watery conditions. Like the plant community, the animal life is varied and includes: snakes, turtles, shrews, pocket gophers, striped skunks, muskrat, mink, short-tailed weasels, beaver, pine squirrels, chipmunks, snowshoe rabbits, porcupines, raccoons, coyotes, bobcats, black bear, white-tailed deer and a wide range of birds, from herons to hummingbirds. The lake is rimmed with grasses and water lilies, from which bullfrogs sing their evening chorus. It provides food and habitat for brook trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, yellow perch, brown bullhead and black crappie. |
