We had taken a hike to Beaver Lake and was not disappointed with what we saw. There were aspen trees downed all around the lake. We also saw a bull moose laying beside the lake.
@365jgh, like most things in life it is a mixed bag on bad and good. They build dams with the limbs from these trees which create a lot of wetlands. They also cut down a lot of trees near the water. The wetlands definitely create a lot of habitat for many animals.
