ORIGINAL PURPOSE To preserve representative wetland communities and disjunct tamarack stands on the Interior Plateau. Physical: This rectangular reserve, located on a nearly level portion of the Interior Plateau, contains two small, bog-like lakes. These are connected by a small, meandering stream of imperceptible flow that drains northwestward into Cluculz Lake and the Nechako River.
