FOREST, FLORA & FAUNA


Lake Charles Farm features approximately 50 acres of Georgian Bluffs Upland Forest, populated mostly with Sugar Maple with many limestone outcroppings of the Niagara Escarpment. The property is home to dozens of varieties of ferns, wild leeks (ramps), ginger and a number of unique escarpment wildflowers (trillium, blue flag iris, dog tooth lily, and orchids) and morels.


 

100 acres of workable land is currently rented to a local sheep farmer.  The Lake Charles Farm has numerous outbuildings and a 60 x 150 foot Barn for storage of hay and equipment.


The property includes many unique limestone fissures of escarpment rock carved by erosion.
