“A tip-of-thepeninsula jewel, Kehl Lake Natural Area combines the best of Leelanau, with everything from shoreline to towering mixed forest to important wetland habitat. Near the lakeshore, a majestic white pine and red maple forest covers the sandy ridge. Beyond, the land gently slopes to wetter areas dominated first by an old-growth pine-hemlock forest, followed by birch, poplar and cedar marsh. These wetlands provide food and cover for wildlife, particularly birds, and contribute to the lake’s pristine water quality. ”
