The White Bear Forest trails offer you the chance to walk among majestic Old Growth red and white pines without committing to a multi-day canoe trip. The ancestral home of the White Bear clan of the Teme-Augama Anishnaabe people, the forest escaped logging in the 1920s when it was preserved by the local lumber baron for his workers to enjoy in their spare time.
