About Shadow Lake Interpretive Forest
This Interpretive Forest was built in the late 90's. The parking lot and kiosk are on the East side of HWY 99, where there is a short trail and outhouse. The rest of the trails are across the HWY from the parking lot.
The trails lead the hiker through various types/ages of forest stands; signs along the way help to interpret the forest activities that took place there. You can drive up the Soo River FSR approx. 1km, where a short trail leads you to a small lookout over the lake and interpretive forest.
