Tamarac Wilderness

Tamarac Wilderness is a 2,180-acre protected wilderness in Minnesota within the larger Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge, established by Congress in 1976. Instead of one continuous tract, it includes four separate sections, among them small islands in Tamarac Lake and a larger area in the refuge’s northwest corner. Its wet, heavily wooded landscape includes lakes, potholes, bogs, marshes, and forests of pine, maple, oak, birch, elm, aspen, ash, poplar, tamarack, and spruce. The area supports abundant wildlife, including bald eagles, ospreys, black bear, deer, otter, beaver, coyote, timber wolf, and fish, and is valued for its relatively undisturbed northern Minnesota wetlands and woods.
